Past lives
Upon joining All Things Small as an Editorial Consultant, I spearheaded the launch of an in-app lifestyle and culture magazine titled PERISCOPE in collaboration with CRED. Demonstrating swift adaptability and a keen editorial acumen, I progressed to assume the position of Managing Editor. In this capacity, my responsibilities span the comprehensive oversight of the magazine, encompassing its operations, from content creation, team management, and mentoring, to fostering dialogues with industry leaders and entrepreneurs.
As the Associate Managing Editor of The Swaddle, I helped run the fast-paced, quick-growing editorial newsroom of TS Studios. I worked closely with all legs of the digital platform and took a keen interest in mentoring my team. I also worked on The Swaddle’s flagship podcast Respectfully Disagree.
As the first Executive Editor of Current Conservation magazine, I helped produce 6 issues from 2019 to 2021. The magazine focuses on research-based stories about ecology, climate, environmental justice, and human-wildlife interaction. At CC, my responsibilities ranged from handling the entire editorial production.
When I'm not editing or writing features and essays, I'm publishing my poetry.
I work with studios and brands to create stories, scripts and concept boards for videos and podcasts.
