At a16z, I was the Editorial Partner responsible for tackling the broader editorial work under the Fintech and Consumer verticals. This entailed editing, writing, researching, pitching, and assisting with visualizing data on a wide variety of editorial initiatives including newsletters, articles, promotional copy, event materials, and more.
At Axios, I helped lead the Tech, Cybersecurity and Gaming coverage and managed the teams that report on these sectors. There, I edited stories and newsletters daily to ensure compelling copy and accuracy. I also wrote features, enterprise stories, and breaking news.
It was a joy to work at TIME Magazine from May 2018 to November 2021 as a Tech and Business Editor. I worked with reporters, producers, the video team, and the social team to coordinate coverage, assign stories, edit coverage, and publish the most important and breaking news for our worldwide audience. I also crafted newsletters, assisted in expanding tech/culture coverage, and contributed my own features and analysis.
