What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply meticulous editing and proofreading skills, work collaboratively with authors and teams, and contribute to high-quality, timely publications.

I am a meticulous editor and proofreader with extensive experience refining corporate, academic, legal, and creative materials to improve clarity, accuracy, and reader engagement.

Over more than a decade I have served as an editorial associate and freelance consultant, applying Chicago, AP, MLA, and APA style guides to textbooks, reports, marketing collateral, novels, municipal legal documents, and training materials, and achieving an exceptional accuracy record.

I deliver fast, reliable project turnaround, offer strategic content recommendations, and collaborate closely with authors and teams to enhance tone, flow, and readability while ensuring strict adherence to style and publishing standards.
