I lead planning, coordination, and implementation of complex scientific and technical publication programs, building project timelines, tracking milestones, and managing deliverables to ensure program objectives are met.

Earlier roles included Scientific Editor at United States Pharmacopeia and Publishing Associate at the American College of Cardiology, where I facilitated publishing standards, workflow improvements, staff training, and performance metrics analysis to identify opportunities for better outcomes; I began my editorial career as a Content Editor working extensively in digital publishing environments using XML and HTML. I’m currently pursuing a Master of Public Health (MPH), expected Summer 2026.
