curated content

As editor of a weekly publication, I: 
• developed annual 52-week theme list

I also collaborated with our marketing team on brand strategies and supervised the assistant editor and several contractors.

The written word

During my years as editor, my writing skills were tested and sharpened as I wrote a weekly editorial.

I was also called upon to create articles and conduct interviews on behalf of The Lookout and its sister publication, Christian Standard
