Hello! I am a Master's in Publishing graduate with experience at an independent publishing company and two literary magazines. In addition to my editorial roles, I have over 5 years of experience working as a supervisor and shift manager at Starbucks, and 2+ years of experience in education. I am well-versed in basic administrative tasks and office management, and am familiar with multiple editorial styles courtesy of my time in education. While I primarily prefer reading fiction, especially fantasy, romance, and women's fiction, I also enjoy (and have worked with) nonfiction, including cookbooks and natural sciences.
