As an editorial assistant intern at the Kennesaw Journal of Undergraduate Research, I read, proofread, and edited submitted manuscripts for the 10th anniversary journal publication. Additionally, I communicated with reviewers, worked with student authors through the manuscript review process, recommended editorial decisions and participated in editorial meetings. My other duties included conducting interviews, writing feature stories, updating spreadsheets and internal documents, and coordinating KJUR events.

During my time as a Graduate Research Assistant, I had the immense pleasure and opportunity to provide copyediting, proofreading, and indexing assistance to the book Teaching English Language Variation in the Global Classroom by Dr. Michelle D. Devereaux and Dr. Chris Palmer. In this role, I received first-hand experience on the steps involved in bringing a manuscript from draft to final concept by creating the index, copyediting multiple versions of the manuscript to ensure consistency, and proofreading for any last minute discrepancies. This was a project where I was able to implement my love of education with my passion for editing.

After my previous work on Teaching English Variation in the Global Classroom, I had the privilege to join Dr. Devereaux and co-authors Dr. Clarice Moran and Dr. Darren Crovitz on another educational text called Next Level Grammar for a Digital Age. This book was the second Routledge book I provided line and copy editing assistance with, solidifying my knowledge of working within the company's style guidelines. In this role, I was hired to create the index for the manuscript and proofread for cohesion and consistency.
