As the managing editor of Hey Rhody Media Co. with a broad range of editorial expertise, I specialize in writing, copyediting, proofreading, and crafting compelling content across diverse topics, with a special interest in environmental and conservation topics, engaging readers with the natural world, local news, and community-driven stories. I’m passionate about creating impactful narratives that not only inform but also inspire change.I hold an MFA in fiction from Georgia College & State University, which is where I began my career in literary publishing and honed my skills in editing, book layout design, and project management as the managing editor of Arts & Letters, while also distilling complex writing techniques and literary theory for students as a teaching fellow. Over the years, I’ve applied these skills to a variety of roles in news and lifestyle publishing, always seeking out opportunities to blend creative storytelling with technical precision.From researching and writing about environmental causes as a freelancer for the Audubon Society to crafting engaging materials tailored to meet unique clients’ needs, I thrive on finding the right balance between artistry and accuracy. My experience leading editorial teams, managing complex projects, and refining content ensures that every piece of work I produce meets the highest standards.I’m excited to continue expanding my expertise in copyediting, copywriting, and environmental writing, while staying open to new opportunities that challenge and inspire me in the world of publishing.
