Someone once asked me if I "moonlight on Canva" because of the care I put into designing a beautiful presentation.


After several years working as an assistant for a "Big Five" publisher in New York City, I recently returned home to CA. Eager to transition out of publishing and take advantage of Bay Area tech opportunities, Padlet seems like the perfect match for my creative roots and organizational excellence.

My role at Gallery Books/Simon & Schuster was a blend of project management and administrative support. While balancing tight deadlines, I built rapport with a diverse range of personalities from fellow assistants to the SVP of our imprint to high-profile authors. A former colleague once said that I “ruled with a velvet hammer” — a description I wear with pride. I believe deadlines can be met with both clarity and kindness.

As a child, my favorite part of going back to school was choosing a new planner, and I haven’t changed. In my last role, I kept deadlines for multiple projects at once on track using a trio of tools: a physical planner, digital calendars, and sticky notes. No deadlines slipped through the cracks.

Why is this relevant? So many values ingrained in me as a theatre kid are essential in the professional world. Over fifteen years of performing taught me teamwork, accountability, clear communication, and adaptability. Quick learning and taking direction in a pinch? Second nature.
