Experience

I was a digital editorial intern for Reader's Digest's web department in White Plains, NY and New York, NY for the duration of 6 months. I was responsible for writing 10+ articles per week, reprising/updating old articles, and creating syndications from sister websites. My stories have been featured on Yahoo, AOL, MSN, INSIDER, Business Insider, Best Health, and other websites. My responsibilities also included assisting in producing, editing, publishing, and distributing videos to the RD website. Additionally, I have experience as an editorial intern for Westchester Magazine, a freelance editor and writer through Elance.com, a social media manager and floor manager at Lombardi's Trattoria (Redding, CT), and a social media intern for the lifestyle and beauty blog The Gossip Darling.
