Professional Work
As an assistant to the Fern and Manfred Steinfeld Program in Judaic Studies, I create a variety of promotional materials, including PowerPoint and Keynote presentations, and oversee our print publications, including flyers, posters, and our program newsletter. An experienced copy and pre-press editor, I have recently edited and prepared two scholarly books for publication, Süssen is Now Free of Jews (Fordham Press, 2012) and The Passion of Perpetua and Felicity (Oxford University Press, 2012). Additionally, I have presented my own work at a number of conferences and have published both academic and creative writing projects. Below are some samples of my professional projects.
