Copy Editor & Proofreader of Nonfiction Books & Academic Manuscripts

I am a copy editor and proofreader specializing in nonfiction and academic editing with expertise in education and social science. I aim to stay true to your voice while ensuring your writing builds trust with your readers. My goal is to ensure your writing is clear, consistent, and inclusive so that it does not confuse, frustrate, or alienate your audience. Background and experience My experience includes writing, editing, and contributing to research briefs, website copy, manuals, presentations, promotional materials, newsletters, magazines, and graduate-level academic manuscripts and articles. To build on my editing and writing experience, I obtained a certificate in editing from the University of Washington. I hold a bachelor’s in psychology, criminology, and criminal justice with a minor in Spanish language and cultures from the University of Maryland. I also earned master’s and educational specialist degrees in school psychology from the College of William & Mary. For eight years, I worked in public schools as a school psychologist. Editing and related skills I primarily work with APA, AP, and Chicago styles, and I complete editing in MS Word, MS PowerPoint, Google Docs, Google Slides, and Adobe Acrobat Reader. I am also proficient in using editing and proofreading marks on hard copy. I am fluent in Dutch and English and have limited working proficiency in Spanish and German.
