I am an Editor and Proofreader with a background rooted in academic excellence and thorough literary analysis. With a B.A. in History (summa cum laude) and extensive experience in publication, AI model content optimization, technical proofreading, and developmental editing, I specialize in transforming drafts into polished manuscripts. -------------------------------------------------------------- What I Do Best: Editing & Proofreading: I provide effective editorial oversight, ensuring that every piece of content with which I work is grammatically perfect, adheres to the appropriate conventional style, and is clear and consistent. I analyze text substantively for clarity, tone, and coherence. I have experience editing a large range of media, from websites to several-hundred-page novels. AI Content Evaluation: I have a proven track record of editing and evaluating AI model responses for clarity, tone, and factual accuracy, ensuring the output feels human and trustworthy. My experience as a Copy Editor with an AI company has enabled me to work with AI-generated content at a higher level than most. Academic Writing: My experience as a Teaching Assistant and as an academic historian has equipped me to handle complex citations, peer reviews, structural edits, and writing for scholarly work. I am proficient in Adobe Creative Cloud, Google Suite, Microsoft Office/365, and WordPress, allowing me to not only edit text but also ensure consistent visual page design and media formatting. I have a strong knowledge of various style guides, including Chicago, MLA, AP, BlueBook, and APA style guides.
