Overview
I have 9 years of experience editing influential, New York Times bestselling authors in fiction and nonfiction categories at Hachette Book Group, Penguin Random House, and Abrams Books. I specialize in helping authors hone their voices.
In particular, my focuses have included personality-driven nonfiction projects in self-help and wellness, body/mind/spirit, creativity, art, lifestyle, food and beverage, magical and mystical, and personal narrative/essays/memoir. I also have experience editing contemporary fiction, historical fiction, mysteries, and crime thrillers.

Work experience
Hachette Book Group
I publish nonfiction projects that inspire and entertain, focusing on categories like magical and mystical, wellness, self-help, cocktail, and craft. In particular, I help creatives, coaches, and specialists develop their voices to translate their work to the page and reach their audiences effectively.
Abrams Books
At Abrams, I published nonfiction projects across categories, focusing specifically on food and beverage, personal narrative, and self-help.
Penguin Random House
At Viking Penguin, where I began my career, I gained experience evaluating queries and submissions material from authors and agents and editing manuscripts in both fiction and nonfiction categories. I worked on several New York Times bestsellers including We Were the Lucky Ones by Georgia Hunter (historical fiction) and More Than Enough by Elaine Welteroth (inspirational memoir). I also acquired and edited the Edgar Award finalist crime novel The Keeper by Jessica Moor.
