Zeina Sherif
@zeinaellakany
Editorial leader and founder creating impactful literary and educational content.
What I'm looking for
I’m an editor-in-chief and founder who builds engaging literary experiences from idea to publication. I founded and led an international literary magazine, grew its Instagram presence to over 490 followers, and reached more than 30,000 accounts.
I manage editorial operations end-to-end—overseeing content strategy, issue production, community partnerships, and team collaboration across editors, writers, and designers. I also analyze engagement metrics and audience feedback to optimize growth and increase readership.
Alongside publishing, I’m passionate about education and accessible learning. As a course planner for Medicine101, I develop course structures and lesson content, and I’ve delivered 27+ hours of SAT English tutoring using College Board resources and diagnostic assessments.
