I've been honing my editing and proofreading skills for over 15 years, most recently as a content manager for National Geographic. In this role, I manage the day-to-day editorial operations for a wide range of media produced by the company's travel entity, including three websites, a robust direct mail program, and a prolific content hub. During my first career as a researcher in the social sciences, I developed expertise in editing academic papers using APA style. More recently, I've been helping small business owners finesse their brand messaging and launch their websites and other marketing collateral. Experience includes: • Substantive editing: high-level review focused on overall structure and flow • Line editing: line-by-line review, with an eye for tone and clarity • Proofreading and copyediting: final pre-publication review for grammar, punctuation, spelling, and adherence to relevant style guides
