Writing


I sharpened my storytelling chops as a magazine editor at INK Global, where I wrote, commissioned, and edited hundreds of articles that ranged from bite-sized front-of-book culture items to expansive feature packages and celebrity interviews. While reaching audiences upwards of 12 million per issue, primarily for inflight magazines like United Airlines’ Hemispheres, I was able to tailor editorial calendars to reflect a diverse range of interests across wide demographics, and helped launch new titles for international airlines.
