What is your professional background?
I have a bachelor’s degree in English from Drake University, where I also majored in history and minored in philosophy. During the second half of my college career, I worked at Drake’s art and literary journal as a staff editor and media director. Following graduation, I got started in nonprofit communications while also pursuing an online certificate in professional copyediting, proofreading and fact-checking from New York University. Working as a communications associate at Vote Smart started my interest in marketing; this, combined with my love for editing, led me to Trilix as a content editor.
If you could do any other kind of work, what would it be?
There’s a lot I’d love to do. Later in life you might find me pursuing one of these: teaching college classes in English literature or working at a bookstore, café, animal shelter, library or history museum.
Favorite film, food, drink and furry friend?
I love Marvel movies (and some from DC); recently, I’ve been enjoying watching classic horror movies. I love eating Italian and Mexican food. My favorite drink to make is a lavender honey latte. I’m obsessed with my cat Dahlia, an 11-year-old rescue who we adopted in September 2022. I also love my family’s dogs, Hope and Gizzie, who live with my parents in Illinois.
