As a veteran of the book publishing and video game industries, I know words and I know how to polish them for audiences of millions. I have managed content for the largest video game in the world (Riot Games, League of Legends), run campaigns for the largest climate movement in the country (Sunrise Movement), and acquired critically acclaimed authors as a literary agent and book editor (working with authors and illustrators such as Charlotte Watson Sherman, Stephanie Garber, Ryan Sohmer, Maya MacGregor, Geneva B, Akem, and more).
