Sep 2022 - Present
Indianapolis, Indiana, United States I manage a team of brilliant scientists, editors, writers, and fact-checkers at the educational YouTube channel SciShow (7.3 million subscribers). We produce a video on science almost every day, requiring not just great editorial skills, but also organizational and interpersonal ones. I hire both staff and freelance contractors, lead meetings, and work with producers to bring our engaging scripts to life.

Indianapolis, Indiana, United States For many happy years, I wrote and edited longform features and cover packages for this magazine with 200,000 monthly print readers and an online audience of 140,000. I hired and managed a group of regular freelance contributors in addition to running our intern program.
