I, Samantha Anne Carrillo, am a devotee of zen and the (lost) art of diagramming sentences. I have called the American Southwest home for two decades now. Prior to a recent layoff, I worked as a copy editor-slash-social media manager for an area newspaper.

Deep background: As a thirtysomething, I served as managing editor of two local alternative newspapers, Weekly Alibi and ABQ Free Press. I have nearly 20 years experience working as a professional journalist and editor.
My OCD and an aptitude for IDing  patterns aid me in my work. 
 
Get in touch to benefit from my media  expertise, gleaned over a decade of executive editorial experience at  major daily and weekly newspapers in the American Southwest. For  references, rates or project quotes, email samannecarrillo@gmail.com or visit samannecarrillo.blogspot.com.

Third-wave feminist situationist in high desert. Managing editor and music editor of alternative New Mexican newspaper Weekly Alibi and co-curator at Nuevo Mexicano-centric arts and culture website Things in Light.
