At Soomo, we have a name for making sure things don’t slip through the cracks: it’s Autumn McGimsey.

As Lead Editorial Project Manager, Autumn keeps our editorial projects organized and on track. She makes sure everyone has what they need and no questions go unanswered. Creating a webtext from scratch is a colossal effort, and Autumn has been essential in getting our new titles off the ground.

When asked what she loves most about her job, she says, “I love that it feeds my love of learning. Every project brings something new, and I find that ongoing growth helps me show up better with each new project.”

Autumn, thank you for keeping the wheels turning!

When you work from home, every day is Take Your Dog to Work Day. It’s actually one of our favorite things about remote work—getting to do our jobs with our fur babies by our side.

In honor of the holiday, here’s a few action shots of our pups manning the stations. If you ever receive a message from us asking for a bone, just ignore it.
