About

Agency-trained copy editor and proofreader with more than 10 years of experience in communications, magazines, marketing, news, newsletters, and online publishing.

I'm a detail- and deadline-oriented copy editor and proofreader with more than 10 years of experience in a variety of industries, including five years at a D.C.-area communications and marketing firm. I also have experience in magazines, news, newsletters, and online publishing.

Everyone needs an editor (even editors). I work to elevate the writing of others. My role is to ensure that what someone else has written is not only free of errors but also translates well to the intended audience while retaining the writer's voice and vision. I serve as a second set of eyes for the writer as well as a surrogate set of eyes for the reader. These skills aren’t easily replicated by spell check in Microsoft Word.

I have extensive experience in The AP Stylebook and The Chicago Manual of Style but adapt to new and client style guides quickly.
