What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead editorial and production work that turns complex content into clear, high-quality products. I want collaborative teams, strong client partnerships, and room to keep pushing technology—especially AI—to exceed customer expectations.

I’m a developmental editor and production leader who turns raw material into outstanding products for diverse audiences. I combine subject-matter mastery in literature, history, and sciences with strong communication to clarify project needs and deliver what clients and customers expect.

In my current role at Weisser Publishing Services, I edit and copy edit academic and general manuscripts, coordinate cross-functional teams, and analyze technology-enhanced materials (including AI). I also train AI to create natural-sounding narratives and nonfiction passages to support client goals.

Previously, as Director, Humanities Content Development at A Pass Educational Group, I planned and developed online e-learning resources, built editorial systems to increase production efficiency, and led editorial/production teams to deliver consistent, high-quality output on time and within budget.
