What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in a collaborative environment that values quality content and innovation.

I am a talented editorial professional with over two decades of experience in copy editing and content management. My journey began as a self-employed editor, where I honed my skills in producing engaging, error-free content. I pride myself on my ability to conduct thorough research and translate complex technical information into user-friendly language, ensuring that my writing resonates with diverse audiences.

In my role as Content Lead at BOLD North America, I managed a remote writing team, implementing editorial guidelines that enhanced the quality and consistency of our content. My proactive approach to mentoring team members and streamlining workflows has not only improved our output but also fostered a collaborative environment where creativity thrives. I have a proven track record of meeting strict deadlines while maintaining high editorial standards, which has been crucial in supporting project goals.

Throughout my career, I have developed a keen understanding of industry trends and best practices, allowing me to stay ahead in the ever-evolving landscape of content creation. I am passionate about helping teams achieve their objectives through effective communication and quality control, and I look forward to bringing my expertise to new challenges.
