EDITOR PROFILES
Meet Carrie Alice Kelly
Senior editor of ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications on Medium
In this post, we introduce Carrie. A. Kelly who is a former English instructor transformed into instructional designer and content creator.
She’s worked as an English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher in Vietnam and traveled to over 40 countries.
Carrie has a mixed background in media, healthcare, and education. She started a postgraduate law degree during the lockdown in the United Kingdom and loves to continually learn. Her ultimate dream is to start a charity organization. She is very passionate about humanitarian issues in two places — India and Vietnam.
Carrie lives by the sea with her little white dog Alfie in the South West. She loves the therapeutic sound of the waves and finds the water inspiring. When she’s not out exploring, she loves to learn more about humanitarian issues, user interface design, plan her future travels, and cook katsu curry.
Carrie likes to write about design, technology, digital marketing, humanitarian issues, and her travel experiences. She vlogs about writing and design over on her YouTube channel.
By using her YouTube channel and writing platforms, Carrie loves to share her experiences to help new writers and teachers who wish to change their careers to writing, content development, and instructional design.
Carrie helps many writers by reviewing, proofreading, and line editing their articles. As an editor on the Illumination Integrated Publications, she enjoys reading about the experiences of writers from all over the world.
As a prolific editor, Carrie also edits articles over on the wonderful Show Your City and 24 Hours publications. I
n addition, she runs the Evolve publication with JS Adam which is a general publication that accepts all writers.
Moreover, Carrie runs The Publication Station with Nikki Waterson too, which is currently on hiatus. You may read an interview with Carrie why she writes and runs six publications.
Carrie is grateful for the opportunities that writing on Medium has brought her. She’s been able to form connections with many writers and designers. She’s gained the confidence to create a YouTube channel to help others.
Interestingly, Carrie’s gained a design content internship through her content creation. When she started to support our publications as an editor, she learned the process and tools very quickly.
After a few days, she reviewed articles, managed checking plagiarism, edited articles, and published them without supervision.
These activities made our contributing writers very happy. We are grateful for her excellent support delighting our writers and readers constantly.
We’d like to give a quick taste of Carrie’s articles selected from her large writing portfolio.
