What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my writing, editing, proofreading, research, and content-quality skills to support the growth of a company or personal business owner.

I've written and edited content for Kibin, TZPP Books, UrGift.In, and literary publications, producing polished work for student, publishing, and consumer audiences.

At Kibin, I wrote essay-writing advice and selected visuals for blog posts. At TZPP Books, I line-edited and proofread genre-fiction manuscripts, tracked changes, checked consistency and formatting, and occasionally fact-checked.

As a freelance writer, I've published book reviews, essays, listicles, short stories, and a photo essay. I also bring experience tutoring students on essays and research papers, along with careful research, editing, and communication skills.
