Overview
I was Online Creative Nonfiction Editor of Grub Street volume 68, Editor in Chief of Grub Street volume 69, and an editor at Ooligan Press.
I have previously interned with Mason Jar Press and Yellow Arrow Publishing.
I became Managing Editor of Creative Nonfiction for Yellow Arrow Publishing and began my freelance editing career with Santa Fe Writer's Project.
Since then, I have offered freelance services in editing ranging from developmental editing to copyediting to proofreading.
I've also begun offering my services as a publicist, which consists of offering edits of your manuscript, building author websites, contacting bookstores to stock your upcoming book, reaching out for reviews and interviews, connecting you with agents, and providing advice on steps forward for you and your work.

Projects
EMERGE: Pandemic Stories and Coming into View
A set of zines I was the project lead for. I picked out which stories from the slush piles, edited each one, worked closely with each author in the process, organized the order of the stories, formatted the zines, queried artists for the cover designs and internal artwork, placed them on the page myself, and recorded an intro to the reading video uploaded to Yellow Arrow Publishing's Youtube page.
