Professional Experience
As a resourceful project manager, I have spent the last several years guiding custom textbooks through the print and fulfillment processes. Acting as a project liaison is my specialty, but my passions lie in content management, copy-editing, and proofreading. With an MA in Publishing & Writing and 12 years of professional experience, I am confident in my ability to add value to any project.
