I turn publishing workflows and content campaigns into measurable audience growth.
What I'm looking for
I've grown engagement and event registration at the Chicago Literary Hall of Fame through branded digital campaigns, newsletters, website content, and social media.
As an Editorial, Marketing and Communications Associate, I used Canva, Adobe Suite, and Sprout Social to optimize social campaigns, while building shared timelines and mentoring a 10-person intern cohort. Previously, my multi-channel event campaigns increased registration by 40% for literary events drawing 1,000+ attendees.
I've also supported biweekly digital publishing for Another Chicago Magazine's 15,000+ monthly readers, editing and proofreading submissions across genres. At Big Shoulders Books and Readomania, I contributed to acquisitions, manuscript editing, proofreading, formatting, author promotion, and anthology marketing.
Beyond employer work, I've self-published two novels with 7,000+ combined copies sold and built Tollgate, an editorial pipeline tracker, and Tropi, a book-discovery app. I'm looking to bring editorial rigor, publishing operations, and audience-growth thinking to editorial or marketing roles.
