I've been an English tutor and teaching assistant since 2013. In these roles, I've worked with students to refine their research, written, and verbal communications skills. I've also grown used to assisting with last-minute edits, something that has proved useful in quick turnarounds for other clients. I have a good eye for detail and an attention to both large- and small-scale concerns in writing. In short, I'm equipped to handle beta reading and developmental edits as well as line editing and copyediting.

My career of 20+ years as a professional educator, curriculum developer, and instructional designer, for clients including the City of Chicago and American Cancer Society, coupled with experience as a business owner, will heighten your project’s success. Your project will benefit from my experience in conceptualizing, writing, teaching, evaluating, and proofreading curricula on a variety of topics. My experience in managing projects and meeting deadlines means your project will be completed professionally, on time, and within budget. My firm grasp of adult learning theory, the ability to organize and design training content, and a keen eye for quality means you will have high-quality deliverables. My interest in health, women’s leadership, emergency preparedness, singing, playing the ukulele, art appreciation, and the Coton de Tulear dog breed, brings a broad range of knowledge to your projects. Communication and collaboration lead to results! My commitment is that your requirements are clearly understood, your desired “voice” is reflected, the format is defined, and timelines are agreed to before the project begins. Read more about how your projects will benefit from my skills below. Please take a look at my Portfolio to see work samples. Here’s how I can best help your projects succeed: Curriculum Development ---------------------------- Do you need a top-level academic professional with 20+ years of experience developing and publishing curricula in a variety of formats? Your project will benefit from my experience in teaching and developing curricula for K-12, college, and adults, along with my experience working with educational institutions, city, county and state governments, the military, and not-for-profits, including the California Department of Education and the CDC. For example, leveraging my education and experience, I developed materials that helped teachers and trainers improve teaching proficiency in many subject matter areas, emphasizing the use of assessment to inform instruction, develop performance tasks, and score student work. Objectives will be identified, and an outline and description of the deliverables will be provided for your review at the beginning of the project. Your projects will benefit from my ability to collaborate and communicate effectively, saving you time. Upon your approval, content will be developed and delivered in your desired format. All materials will be professionally designed, edited, and proofread to make sure you receive a quality product. Please see my Portfolio for samples of my curriculum development work.

Your project will be designed to meet the challenges of today’s distracted audiences. My skills are fine-tuned to create engaging graphics and understandable content that will capture your audiences’ interests. My design expertise starts with developing a “look and feel” that will effectively engage your audience. Visuals are created to convey your desired message and call to action. A wide range of presentation methods can be used based on your needs, including PowerPoints, infographics, posters, brochures, and billboards. Your projects will also benefit from my project management skills, command of the English language, and commitment to quality, so you get the results you desire. Please see my Portfolio for samples of Graphic Design and Presentations Proofreading/Editing ----------------------- Do you need someone with a solid background in editing and proofreading to review your content?
