Clarifying Complex Policy to Strengthen Lender Relationships

In the wake of shifting policy demands and increased operational complexity, Fannie Mae needed a more effective way to communicate with its nationwide lender network. The Selling Guide—an essential resource—had grown dense and difficult to navigate, leading to confusion and slower adoption of key updates.
As the Account Manager for Communications, I was tasked with leading the editorial strategy for a refreshed version of the guide. I compiled and structured core policy updates into a cohesive, user-friendly format designed to help lenders quickly understand requirements and take action. My focus was on simplifying language, shifting the tone from bureaucratic to practical, and organizing content in a way that aligned with how lenders actually used the information.
The project was recognized with a staff award, and I received a performance bonus for helping strengthen lender engagement and support policy implementation.
