Fruitslice Magazine
2023 – 2025
Wearing many hats as a Senior Editor, Special Projects Director, Cartoonist + Illustrator, and member of the social media team, I work to increase reach and viewership of the literary magazine and make connections with brands and organizations. Managing a team of editors, I ensure that all pieces are edited for clarity and cohesion, and write/produce independent projects that guide issue themes.
The Big Gay Writing Project
2023 – Current
Founded in December of 2023, the Big Gay Writing Project was created out of a need for queer sober spaces in the Philadelphia area and beyond. As the founder of BGWP, I create weekly prompts on various themes and facilitate weekly writing workshops to anywhere from 20-60 participants over the age of 18. Building BGWP required me to network in the Philadelphia community, and learn how to build a nonprofit organization from the ground up.
