My day begins with reviewing requests that have come in overnight from colleagues in Asia. These can be requests for information, or help seeking training, or edits to a newsletter. Throughout the day I'll have meetings with different teams, either focused on creating training, working on messaging for a product launch, or editing technical publications for conferences. I might even go into our recording studio to work with a subject matter expert on recording a video explaining their research.
I draw, write, make phone calls, read, and research.
