What I'm looking for

I’m seeking editorial or content leadership roles where I can manage high-volume workflows, coach authors, and improve audience engagement while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

I am an editor and content specialist with seven years' experience shaping manuscripts, managing high-volume workflows, and producing precise, publication-ready materials. I have edited 25+ manuscripts annually across genres, prepared print-ready and e-book files, and maintained style and clarity using the Chicago Manual of Style.

I’ve supported content reaching 1.6M+ weekly readers, coordinated multi-stakeholder projects, led content teams using Asana, and improved site traffic and engagement through strategic content and marketing efforts. I value clear communication, attention to detail, and scalable editorial processes that help authors and teams publish professionally.
