What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my copyediting and line-editing experience to clear, accurate publications, news, and marketing materials, particularly for mission-driven organizations.

I'm the president of Oak Grove Editing, LLC, where I copyedit texts and oversee every aspect of the business. I currently edit publications, news articles, social media, press releases, captions, and marketing materials for organizations including the Human Rights Research Center, The Observatory, Doing Good, Florida Youth at Risk, and Museum With No Frontiers.

I've also led strategic planning and business development at the New York Association for New Americans and Pembroke Consulting, and supported process improvement at the Superior Court of New Jersey. My background includes a Copyediting Certificate from UC San Diego Extended Studies and an M.A. in International Affairs.
