(Good question. Here's what I know so far.)

 

My name is Kumari Pacheco, and I'm an East Coast-based content designer and book editor.

 

I earned an interaction design degree from California College of the Arts and interned twice as a UX content designer in fintech, thrice as an editor/writer in publishing, and served the Library of Congress as a Junior Fellow. Currently, I'm an editorial assistant at Page Street Publishing.

 

In my free time, I volunteer as a first-round judge for $1000 for 1000 Words (a writing competition for kids K-12) and the Scholastic Writing Awards. I can also be found writing stories, reading graphic novels, headbanging at rock shows, or daydreaming about my next trip abroad.
