Professional Summary
Beyond earning my BA in English, I've continued my education through taking online courses, reading recommended books, and browsing any free resources I can find. I'm so grateful to Gregor Gilliom, Founder and CEO of Versatile Words, for allowing me to work as an assistant editor for him as I continue to build my own writing portfolio. While working with him, I've been a part of some very cool projects, including: a thorough edit of McGraw Hill's 2025 AP textbook catalog, final edits to DesignGroup LinkedIn posts, and a survey compilation of Michigan liberal arts colleges. Very cool stuff.
My experience will look quite editing-heavy—and you're right about that—but I have skills in a lot of different baskets. I've been studying advertising, copywriting, graphic design, and illustration alongside my work as an editor. I encourage you to read my blog posts and browse my art Instagram account to see all that I've been up to!
