Senior Editor
"Working at The Digital Economist has broadened my perspective as an editor. After spending a decade editing books, transitioning to topics like AI, digital assets, and global governance has challenged me to think beyond my usual editorial work. There's always something new to learn, and I appreciate being part of a team that is supportive, collaborative, and committed to continuous growth. The flexibility of working remotely has made it even more meaningful because I can continue building my career while also being a present mom."
