RESUME
With 10+ years of experience in creative writing, project management, book publishing, social media, and client experience, I can tackle pretty much anything you throw at me.
I recently wrapped up my time at Wiley as a freelance editorial project manager, copyeditor, and general editing fiend. Before I went full-time freelance, I was working at Allocations as a client experience specialist, managing client communications and building a client education program.
In a former life, I was a reporter and columnist, focusing on the connection between food, emotion, and memory. My passion for sustainable agriculture and ethical consumption leads me to work with people who care about our collective health and our planet's health.
