As a former teacher and book editor, Brianne has a natural talent for coaching and a sharp eye for detail. She draws on both those skills as Editorial Team Lead. In this role, she fields concerns and questions from writers and editors, conducts regular check-ins with team members, recruits and trains new talent and helps update style guides and playbooks. Brianne jumps in as needed to help with large projects, using her skills in time management and creative problem-solving to keep things on track.

Brianne has a bachelor’s in English from Boston University and a master’s in education from Georgia State University. She honed her eye for editorial details and clean design while working in book editing and production at a major publishing house. Brianne also worked as a high school English teacher, and she uses those same skills to train writers and editors. After working as a Project Coordinator for Aha Media Group, she was a clear choice for Editorial Team Lead. “We have a great team that works really well together. I love bringing out the best in our team members and helping them find their strengths,” she says.

When she’s not at her desk, Brianne is usually out for a long run. She trains for up to 5 half-marathons a year and enjoys socializing while she jogs with her running group. She loves to spend time with her family — hiking, canoeing and hitting the beach near their New England home. She’s also an avid reader and enjoys cooking and gardening.
