Content operations: consistent quality across a multi-writer team
A content team published at volume, but briefs varied, reviews dragged on and ideas repeated. I introduced the systems that let a large team ship better work, faster.
Cross-functional team management
Getting writers, designers, developers and sales pulling the same way.
Good marketing rarely belongs to one team. For six years I have led and coordinated writers, designers, SEO specialists, developers and sales teams, often working as the bridge between clients, leadership and the people doing the work. I set clear priorities, remove blockers and keep quality consistent without slowing anyone down.

Work where I used this
AI-assisted content operations: from research brief to published report
A busy content team lost hours to research, formatting, publishing and reporting. I designed AI-assisted workflows that handle the repetitive steps while editors keep every decision.
