What I'm looking for

I am looking for a writing or editing role where I can apply research, clear communication, and meticulous copyediting in a collaborative, inclusive environment.

I am a technical writer and editor with hands-on experience producing researched articles, transcripts, and clear, audience-focused content. I hold a Technical Writer Graduate Certificate (Algonquin College, April 2025) and an Honours BA in History (University of Ottawa, April 2022).

I have written and researched for multiple magazine titles, pitched ideas, and delivered three articles per week during a contract role. I volunteer as an editor and transcriber, applying The Chicago Manual of Style to interview transcripts and collaborating with subject-matter experts to refine content.

My background includes content creation and practical experience with image capture and processing workflows for e-commerce, plus detailed transcription and synthesis of historical and biographical materials. I consistently demonstrate attention to detail in copyediting and proofreading lengthy documents.

I bring strong communication skills, Microsoft Office proficiency, and a commitment to clear, inclusive writing. I seek roles where I can apply research skills, editing precision, and collaborative work with editors and SMEs to produce high-quality content.
