Erato is Georgia Tech's Literary & Arts Magazine. Erato focuses on taking student writing, artwork, and photography submissions to publish in annual magazines as well as periodical zines.

​

I joined the organization as a 2nd year undergrad and quickly became the assistant editor while working on the 50th anniversary edition book. Currently I work as the editor-in-chief. My work spans from redesigning the brand, creating content for social media, designing magazine spreads, working with the annual budget, promoting organization outreach, and guiding staff on design principles.

​

A few notable accomplishments since my time as Editor-in-Chief include increasing Instagram followers from 100 to 600+, increasing staff numbers from 10 to 25, publishing a second annual staff zine called Jacket Archives, and being nominated as a finalist magazine for the Associated Collegiate Press Pacemaker Contest.
