Callie Byrnes has been the site director of Collective World since 2021 and helps cover a variety of topics, such as tarotscopes, horoscopes, and other gen pop zodiac content. She is a professional tarot reader of 10 years and a lifelong lover and student of astrology, allowing her to dive deeply into both topics in her work.

Throughout her career, she has worn many hats in the digital media field—she ran multiple social media accounts for an agribusiness B2B magazine, wrote copy and redesigned the commercial website for a bespoke fashion company in Italy, and was the head trending news and entertainment writer and editor at Thought Catalog.
