Assistant Editor at All Music Guide
Greater Detroit Area
My primary career experience is as a magazine and online journalist - I have written for trade publications as an assistant editor at Benjamin Media, Inc., and my most current position was as an assistant editor in the Pop Music department at All Music Guide. I am a freelance writer for Scene, an alternative weekly in Cleveland, Ohio, and one of my clips also appeared in Alternative Press in April 2006.
I am currently looking for a full time position in the arts and entertainment industry, with a focus on popular music. While I would prefer to continue my work in journalism, I am also considering work in public relations, concert/festival planning and promotion, music supervision for television, film or advertising, or positions with record labels and recording studios. In addition, I am looking to expand my freelance portfolio. If you would like to see my resume and/or samples from my portfolio, please do not hesitate to contact me.
