Aspiring publishing professional with strong editorial and research skills.

What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters growth in publishing, with a focus on editorial tasks and collaboration.

As a dedicated publishing professional, I am currently pursuing my Master of Science in Publishing at Pace University, set to graduate in May 2024. My academic background, combined with my hands-on experience in editorial roles, has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the publishing process. I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration in International Business from The George Washington University, which has further honed my analytical and communication skills.

In my role as an Editorial Assistant at Editorial Destellos, I manage the manuscript submission process, ensuring that submissions are tracked, logged, and evaluated efficiently. My experience at Macmillan Publishers as a Managing/Production Editorial Intern allowed me to refine my copyediting skills and gain insight into the production side of publishing. Additionally, my internship at Jean V. Naggar Literary Agency provided me with valuable experience in evaluating manuscripts and understanding market trends, which I leverage to support authors and enhance their work.
