• Managing the user experience, site accessibility, metadata, and SEO of Poets.org, a website with over 1,000,000 monthly visitors

• Pitching, soliciting, and editing feature essays for American Poets, a bi-yearly print magazine with a total distribution of over 9000 copies

• Copyediting and fact checking poems, author bios, author statements, credit lines, and other materials

• Drafting copy for Poem-a-Day, Poets.org, and American Poets

• Writing and researching author questions for Enjambments, Poets.org’s  book interview series

• Developing HTML frontend content for Poets.org and Poem-a-Day Mailchimp campaigns

• Researching and curating all weekend selections for Poem-a-Day

• Scheduling Poem-a-Day content via Mailchimp and the Poets.org content management system, as well as on other platforms such as TweetDeck, Facebook Content Studio, Soundcloud, and Megaphone
