About me

In my current role at the online publication What Sleeps Beneath, I balance many projects simultaneously while prioritizing quality. This includes the management of an editorial calendar, communicating with key stakeholders on upcoming and current projects, project assignment through our workflow systems, and facilitating idea-generating conversations across teams in an encouraging, uplifting, and exciting manner. I am particularly adept at cross-department collaboration. In every role that I have held, from non-profit work to exhibition design, I have built impressive outcomes with limited resources under tight deadlines.

My skills include writing, proofreading, copy-editing, public speaking, visual design, and an unquenchable curiosity for learning new things. I am extremely resourceful and quick to adapt to changing project environments. My educational background in Studio Arts with a concentration in Cultural Anthropology from the University of Pittsburgh has also equipped me with a unique perspective on cultural analysis and content strategy, which are crucial in understanding and meeting diverse consumer needs.
