At Brighton Publishing, LLC, I edited and fact-checked manuscripts, checking facts and statistics, preventing plagiarism, and applying the Chicago Manual of Style. I also ensured formatting followed the in-house style guide.

At Pepperdine University’s Writing Center, I edited students’ papers and supported their academic writing, from developing arguments and theses to working with research, fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry. At Expressionists Magazine, I proofread and analyzed submissions for publication.
