She wore many hats such as art designer, proofreader and editor. Following the CRPA, she worked at Y-Visionary Publishing as a Production Coordinator on their auto titles like Street Trucks. When Y-Visionary Publishing became Action Pursuit Group, her focus shifted to titles like Ultimate MMA and Inside Kung-Fu. When APG became Beckett Media, she was promoted to Managing Editor and oversaw the day-to-day editorial duties for three titles: Ultimate MMA, Inside Kung-Fu and Action Pursuit Games.
