What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role that pairs editorial leadership with data-informed decision-making—where I can guide teams, produce high-quality content, manage budgets and operations, and grow analytics-driven strategy.

I’m a detail-driven Managing Editor with a dual B.A. in Psychology & English (Honors) and ongoing study in Business & Business Analytics. I bring a research-informed, publication-ready mindset—paired with strong editing, writing for publication, and quantitative analysis skills that help me make informed decisions under pressure.

In my current role at TheChimes, I lead a 30+ person editorial team, managing the editing/publication pipeline, operations, budgeting, and marketing strategy. I’ve also served as Editor-in-Chief for TheInkslinger, led social media and administrative work for multiple clients, and contribute technical strengths including SQL, Python, Tableau, and AI prompt engineering to turn data into clearer strategy.
