I have done continuous and extensive research regarding publicity for authors, such as podcast/radio show opportunities and arrangements with book stores to carry finalized works. The six months were spent working side by side with Laura, meeting biweekly to exchange ideas and brainstorm on new projects. 2018-2020, Freelance Copyeditor for 2 years at University of Los Angeles, California EDUCATION
