I am a journalist, writer, and avid reader with an English BA from UCLA. My previous experience as a teacher inspired my career shift and my aspirations to continue educating people through a different medium. Written content is my textbook, and my readers are my classroom. My goal is to bring your content ideas into a compelling, error-free piece that leaves the readers feeling knowledgeable, entertained, and motivated to take action afterwards. As an editor who has proofread over 2400 submissions, I can write or edit blog posts, SEO-friendly articles, news features, interviews with companies, translated materials, college admissions essays, and newsletters. My topics of interest are lifestyle, wellness, food, pets, sustainability, and travel, but I am always looking to cover other niches too. Let’s make your blog/ article ideas or proofreading needs a reality!
