What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where I can contribute to impactful writing projects and continue to grow professionally.

As a dedicated freelance writer and editor, I have spent nearly a decade honing my craft, producing hundreds of original articles tailored for diverse audiences and optimized for online search marketing. My experience spans various platforms, including collaborations with Noble Desktop and Study.com, where I have consistently delivered high-quality content that resonates with readers.

My role at Inscape Journal involved curating and preparing written work for publication, where I provided substantive feedback and detailed copy edits to authors. I also managed a team of 10-30 staff members weekly, ensuring that our editorial processes were efficient and effective. Additionally, I oversaw the editorial processes for the Victorian Short Fiction Project, where I ensured accuracy and style consistency across hundreds of web pages.

With a strong foundation in English and creative writing from Brigham Young University, I am passionate about helping others improve their writing skills. I have provided constructive feedback to students and collaborated on interdisciplinary research projects, demonstrating my commitment to fostering a supportive and productive writing environment.
