I have written, published, and edited every possible genre. My perspective is global and professional. I have traveled the world and earned a Ph.D. in Asian Religion and Philosophy. I have ghostwritten/edited memoirs for a disgruntled Evangelical minister, a live-large life coach, and beat-down personal assistant for Al Pacino. (Of late, I have come to enjoy humanizing manuscripts written by AI.)

I’m a high school English teacher and former journalist with strong editing and writing skills, specializing in clear, polished, reader-friendly content. I help writers, bloggers, small businesses, and content creators improve clarity, flow, and professionalism—without changing their voice. I edit blog posts, newsletters, website copy, and AI-generated drafts, focusing on grammar, structure, readability, and consistency. I have experience as a Beta reader, helping to streamline prose, eliminate redundancy, and strengthen literary elements such as character arcs. As a teacher, I’m deadline-driven, detail-oriented, flexible and used to working independently with minimal direction. If you need a beta reader, reliable editing or clean, well-structured writing completed on time, I’d love to help! Please consider me.
