What I'm looking for

I am a detail-oriented professional with over 5 years of experience in pre-press and production editorial, content development, and project management within the publishing and education sectors. My journey has been marked by a commitment to quality and collaboration, ensuring that every project I undertake meets the highest standards.

Currently, I am a Senior Editor at Cambridge University Press & Assessment, where I manage the complete production editorial workflow for frontlist academic titles in the Humanities and Social Sciences. My role involves collaborating with various stakeholders to ensure timely execution of projects, while also mentoring junior editors to foster a culture of excellence within the team.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my contributions, including receiving the 100%+ Club Award for two consecutive fiscal years for my dedication to maintaining high editorial standards at Cambridge University Press. I am eager to upskill and explore new opportunities that will allow me to diversify my skills and experiences further.
