Boston’s Improper Bostonian was a lifestyle magazine that reached nearly 400,000 readers every two weeks. As an editor, I wrote front-of-the-book pieces and features, interviewed celebrities like Frozen’s Idina Menzel and comedian Gilbert Gottfried, helped plan the entire editorial calendar, oversaw fact-checking, and more.

It’s where I learned to hone my headlines, obsess over deadlines, and be incredibly improper in all the best ways.
