What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior editorial or communications roles where I can lead teams, shape content strategy, mentor writers, and produce high-quality print and digital publications.

I am a senior editor and corporate communications professional with almost a decade of experience across print, digital and news media, skilled in editing, proofreading, copywriting and content strategy. I have led editorial teams, managed publishing processes, curated premium newsletters, provided editorial oversight for podcasts and TV segments, and trained writers on in-house style and standards.

My background includes substantive and copy editing for books and periodicals, relationship management with authors and vendors, production cost and pricing recommendations, and collaboration with multimedia teams to produce engaging content that aligns with brand voice. I hold an M.A. in English Literature and industry certifications in publishing and content marketing, and I bring a results-focused, collaborative approach to editorial leadership.
