Editorial strategist at Fanatics / Topps who directed creative execution for soccer trading cards across major leagues and competitions.
What I'm looking for
At Fanatics / Topps, I directed editorial and creative execution for collectible soccer trading cards across the Bundesliga, UEFA Club Competitions, Premier League, MLS, and J-League. I coordinated imagery, copy, design, and legal approvals for product releases.
At the New York Post, I analyzed newsroom performance and audience behavior, then partnered with senior leadership on daily editorial strategy. Those initiatives increased section readership by 20%, and I educated staff on Parse.ly and Google Analytics.
At USA Today Sports Media Group, I owned social media strategy for brands including Golfweek, For The Win, MMAJunkie, and Hoops Hype. I managed more than 75 accounts and increased engagement by 35% through analytics-driven optimization and reporting.
Across soccer media, I've also presented match analysis and produced short-form video for ata football, directed U.S. digital content strategy for Chelsea FC, and written features for the United States Soccer Federation.
