Hadia Hayat

I am an editorial leader and founder with hands-on experience launching and growing an online literary magazine to 1K readers and 300 submissions, while directing a team of 30 writers, editors, and designers. I set editorial strategy, managed publication schedules, and executed marketing that expanded audience reach.

My background includes classroom teaching as a student-teacher where I designed AS course plans, delivered lessons, and managed classroom activities—skills that sharpen my presentation, mentorship, and curriculum design abilities. I also served as an HR assistant, supporting recruitment, onboarding, and HR administration to improve departmental efficiency.

As a marketing copywriter I created persuasive, conversion-focused copy across ads, email, web, and social channels, tailoring brand voice and optimizing content for digital platforms. I led community initiatives and volunteer projects—including a WWF community service project and fundraising work at a major hospital—that reflect my commitment to social impact and community engagement.

I augment practical experience with structured learning, having completed an Oxford University online course in Critical Reading (10 CATS points). I thrive in collaborative, mission-driven environments where I can lead creative teams, mentor contributors, and drive editorial and audience growth through strategic planning and thoughtful, detail-oriented execution.
