What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to combine my passion for travel and storytelling while promoting sustainable practices.

I am an adept editor and proofreader with extensive experience in the publishing industry. Over the years, I have collaborated with various organizations, including Ride Andes and Classic Journeys, to create compelling narratives that highlight the beauty of travel and conservation. My work involves not only writing but also meticulous research, editing, and fact-checking to ensure the highest quality of content.

Throughout my career, I have contributed to notable publications such as Moon Travel Guides and Delta Sky Magazine, where my articles have inspired readers to explore unique destinations. My commitment to sustainable tourism and responsible travel is reflected in my writing, as I strive to raise awareness about conservation issues while engaging audiences with authentic stories. I believe in the power of thoughtful communication to effect change and foster a deeper understanding of our world.
