Work
I spent four of my six years at MSP-C working as Associate Content Director at the agency, dedicated to our Delta Air Lines account. I also served as Deputy Editor on Sky, our client’s in-flight magazine.
Believe it or not, every month 6.3 million global Delta passengers in basic economy and private jets alike used to pass their flight time reading up on the latest travel, celebrity, business and pop culture news in the pages of Sky—no earbuds or electronics required. Sadly, this beloved “city magazine for the world” didn’t survive the pandemic and Delta halted production in 2020.
In addition to writing front-of-book, feature and back-of-book articles, I edited special sections and advertorials. This meant that I worked closely with our Delta clients and the MSP-C editorial and production teams, as well as with Sky’s ad sales and marketing teams. The best part, though, was growing and nurturing an amazing global network of freelance writers (many of whom I keep in touch with still).
A few of my favorite stories I edited and/or wrote are below.

Profile: Atlanta
I edited a massive 35-page special section on Atlanta in 2019, scouting and hiring 13 writers based in the southern U.S. to cover everything from higher ed to biotech, entertainment and economic development. The section featured interviews with high-profile leaders such as Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian and mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, who later became a senior adviser to the White House during the Biden administration.
