    As part of the editorial team, I edited papers through multiple submissions before preparing them for print publication. As head editor from 2012-14, my aim was to create more opportunities for professional development and exposure for everyone involved in the production of the journal (authors, editors, and designers), through rigorous editorial standards and project expansion. I standardized editing procedures and style guides for future editions, expanded funding and distribution, worked with professional designers, and used the platform of the journal to publish conference proceedings for the 2014 Symposium, "Power, Pedagogy, and Philosophy's 'Woman Problem.'"
