I helped develop college-level psychology textbooks, online learning programs, and instructor materials. I worked with authors, project managers, sales representatives, and freelance writers and editors to make sure our publications were of high quality and delivered on time.

I independently managed several large-budget developmental and biological psychology textbooks from revision planning through post-publication. As part of this process, I collaborated with authors during the revision stage, prepared and submitted manuscripts to production, monitored permissions statuses and solved permissions problems, reviewed proofs, acted as a liaison between the editorial and production departments to ensure timely publication of the products and proper spending of budgets. I also planned and managed supplement creation for
all of the titles on my list, including assessments and instructor resources.
