• Product Marketing Associate

  • Aug 2017 - Mar 2018

  I wore a variety of hats in this role, writing copy for our website, blog, emails (transactional, marketing, and nurture), and print marketing materials. When the volume of emails requiring copy grew too large for the marketing team to handle, I helped scale the process by creating an email style guide and brand guidelines to help non-writers write great copy.

• Assistant Managing Editor

  • Oct 2015 - Aug 2017

  In a nutshell, my job was to keep the big picture of a project in mind while also drilling down into the details of language, grammar, and accuracy. I worked closely with cross-functional teams to problem-solve and keep projects on schedule. I delved into process design by overhauling and updating our internal processes for fact-checking and art review. I also organized and ran a discussion group to explore questions of culture and diversity in our work and the greater publishing world.
