Editorial Portfolio

My editing portfolio is primarily made up of higher education publications, in which I usually provided both editorial and managing editorial services. My writing portfolio showcases some of my favorite features and stories I have written for publications. Though I edit more than I write, I enjoy taking on writing assignments that are the right fit. Whether it’s editing or writing help that you need, reach out and let’s talk!

While publications work is my favorite, it’s really only the tip of the iceberg. As a former staff member of a university marketing office, I have edited and written everything ranging from online stories and social media posts to website content and promotional materials. I especially enjoy figuring out how to extend the life of a piece of content, such as creating robust digital distribution plans for typically print-only magazines or editing and repurposing stories to have different angles for different audiences.
