Research
Women Writers Project (2015–17)
During my time at Northeastern, I contributed to the work of the Women Writers Project, an initiative devoted to the encoding and granting access to early modern women's writing. As the project's research assistant, I independently encoded a handful of books and plays, using Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) language through the Oxygen platform to transform manuscript copies into fully digitized and systemized pieces of text. I also worked with the exhibits team to review already-encoded texts, build exhibits around these texts' histories and meanings, and encode relevant images for the texts.
Writing
Northeastern Writing Center (2015–16)
As a writing tutor at Northeastern’s Writing Center, I had the unique opportunity to help students across the Boston campus with all sorts of essays, presentations, and professional writing. (In fact, in just the fall 2015 semester alone, I worked with more than 200 students!)
In addition to tutoring, the Writing Center also offered other opportunities for students to become involved in the process of learning to love writing. During my time at the Writing Center, we hosted One Day One Goal, a daylong write-a-thon, invited students to participate in our Creative Writing Group, and celebrated the National Day on Writing by asking students and faculty around campus to answer #WhyIWrite.
Onward State (2014–15)
At the start of my senior year at Penn State, I joined the staff of Onward State — an entirely student-run news organization — as a copyeditor. Over the course of the following nine months, I became the student life editor of the site, writing, editing, and publishing articles for Onward State’s more than 80,000 readership.
Below is a selection of articles I wrote for the site; you can find my full archive of articles here.
Publishing
Signs Journal (2015–16)
As a first-year graduate student at Northeastern, I became involved with Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society, the leading international journal devoted to women's and gender studies. As a volunteer editorial intern, I had a wide variety of responsibilities, including editing manuscripts of upcoming issues, proofreading book reviews, and creating logos for digital projects.
Eifrig Publishing (2014)
In fall 2014, I devoted time to editing and marketing for Eifrig Publishing, LLC, an international publisher of children's books that focus on sharing messages of gender and race equality, eco-friendliness, and positive self image. I primarily edited manuscripts for accuracy, clarity, and style as well as supported marketing and public relations efforts. One piece that I helped to edit and polish has already been published: the first installment in The Crumbles Chronicles, a book narrated by Crumbles the dog himself.
Pearson Learning Solutions (2014)
As part of a 13-week summer internship with the North America division of Pearson Learning Solutions (now called Pearson Higher Education), I worked in the custom publishing department as a rights and permissions editorial assistant. As part of my work, I proofed digital textbooks, performed QAs, and reached out to publishers, authors, and rights holders in order to attain permission for use of images and quotations.
Comparative Literature Studies Journal (2013–14)
As an undergraduate, I interned with Penn State's Comparative Literature Studies department, maintaining the book reviews component of the department's literature journal. I contacted professors who specialized in related topics, shipped out books and received and catalogued reviews, and supported the review copyediting and proofing process.
