About Me
I am a writer and editor from Milton, Ontario. I have a B.A. in Creative Writing and English with a minor in Professional Writing from Southern New Hampshire University and will graduate from Centennial College's Publishing program in Spring 2025. In my education, I have gained specialized experience with editing, design, marketing, and production conventions and software, which I have applied in leadership roles on several publications.
My Experience
Editor-in-Chief
On the Danforth Magazine
My role as Editor-in-Chief for Centennial College's student magazine, On the Danforth, involved creating a thematic vision for the 2025 print issue and overseeing an editorial team to realize the project. I coordinated with the design, sales, and production teams to bring the editorial theme to life and create a cohesive brand for the publication.
Writing Tutor
Southern New Hampshire University
I worked with students of varying grades, English proficiency levels, and academic focuses as a writing tutor. From this role, I gained experience editing and proofreading across literary genres and became proficient in several citation styles including MLA, APA, and CMOS.
Lead Copy Editor
The Penmen Press
As the lead copy editor of SNHU's student-run newspaper, The Penmen Press, I managed a team of copy editors by assigning articles to edit, reviewing work, and identifying common errors. I edited articles for grammar, accuracy, tone, and objectivity according to AP Style while collaborating with an editorial team to move content toward publication.
Fiction Reader
Salamander Magazine
I apply my education in Creative Writing and prior editing experience as a fiction submission reader for Salamander Magazine. Each month, I read and evaluate a minimum of 25 short stories. I then forward the stories to Salamander editors with the suggestion to accept or deny, along with my analysis of the piece.
