Former In-House Experience

I was hired by AAA Publishing as an Associate Editor just a year out of college, and I spent more than a dozen years writing and editing travel content for the organization’s more than 58 million members. AAA is where I learned how print and digital books and articles go from concept to production, and it’s where I first got to put my writing and editing skills to professional use. I received stellar training and a solid publishing foundation that quickly made me a go-to, trusted editor in my department.
