I was required to market and operate an Espresso Book Machine (EBM), a device for digitally producing paperbackbooks. Using the EBM, I produced course materials (custom course packets for professors) in conjunctionwith a copyright associate, and the text book manager for students. I coordinated with other members of the textbook team to complete book orders for thousands of students, with a rigorous turn-around time. Further, for marketing opportunities for our custom publishing service, I attended literary festivals and networking events around the state of Maryland to promote the Towson University Press publishing program.I gained more responsibility when I was asked to fill a need in the Course Materials Office. I currently still perform all my duties with the Espresso Book Machine as well as assist with the many facets of the textbook adoption process in the Course Materials Office.As the textbook publishing landscape changed, I was also tasked with administering the Digital Direct Access program. In this role, I was tasked with all communications between vendors, professors, and students to ensure that each student was able to access and use their digital course materials through the Blackboard LMS.Due to my various duties, I have some experience with Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Indesign and Adobe Photoshop. I also have some experience with LaTeX and Ruby.

I prepared business and political documents under rigorous and competitive deadlines for institutions in and outside of government, like White House Records and MSNBC. I was responsible for production, review, and newswire publication of verbatim transcripts of breaking news, congressional hearings, think tank meetings, financial market regulatory news, the daily briefings by the White House and U.S. Department of State and public affairs of the U.S Department of Defense.At times I was required to work with a small team to complete same day rush projects for CQ Roll CallMagazine, Bloomberg News, Thomson Reuters, Council on Foreign Relations various network news companies such as InterCall, C-SPAN. During my first year at FDCH we also acquired a contract with the D.O.D.Many times these contracts required moving between different typing formats and styles to adhere to the standards of each company and/or business.Ultimately, my job was to maintain the particular branding voice and style of each client in the finished product.I am familiar with MLA and AP formatting, having to switch between those regularly, including other custom formats.
