    I provide editing services from proofreading, copy editing, and line editing to developmental editing and indexing of academic, nonfiction, financial, tax, and legal projects. I also record for Radio Talking Books and record audiobooks for Audible and Librivox. Since 2020 I have edited more than a dozen nonfiction books, three book-length dissertations, more than 50 academic journal articles, numerous master’s theses and other shorter works, and several white papers. As a retired attorney, judge, and business school professor, I've applied my expertise to subjects ranging from an analysis of the UK's system of dual-class shares, to whether the legal definition of genocide should encompass political grounds, to the environmental aspects of fast fashion, and everything in between. I recently edited and indexed a book on the unique problems of employing those with criminal histories, which was published in 2024 by Springer Nature. I have also edited nearly a dozen travel and how-to books for CZYK Publishing, an independent publisher in the United States. I have extensive experience, and particular expertise, in working with clients for whom English is a second (or third) language. I edit in MS Word and return for each project a redline with my suggested edits and explanatory comments and, when appropriate, a clean copy ready for use. I have also edited in Google Docs and in Adobe. I have certificates in editing from the University of Washington and from the University of Chicago, a doctorate in accounting/business/economics from the University of Minnesota, and a law degree from the University of Michigan. I would love to speak with you about how I can help you make your writing clear, concise, and compelling. As a first step, let's schedule an interview to discuss your project!

    DISCLOSURE: I believe in transparency and direct communication, so I would like to address the discrepancy in my profile regarding ratings. I have never left a client dissatisfied due to the quality of my work. In fact, one of my long-term pro se clients communicated how I have been an extremely valuable asset regarding their legal matter, and that my legal acumen is far beyond my experience thus far. Another long-term client has expressed to me how my work product far surpasses that of his previous attorney and contracted paralegal. Commonly, when working with a pro se litigant, upon the filing of a piece of my work product, at that point the other parties and their hired counsel then take the matter seriously and even enter into negotiations for settlement. However, over the past 6-months, I have faced adversarial circumstances that affected my ability to be as timely as I would like to be. These incidents, and the resulting ratings, are all in those specific time frames and are not a representation of my work overall or my ability to be timely. Furthermore, in these instances, and in my practice overall, I am always proactive in communicating any change of circumstance and I am unwavering in my commitment to resolve any situation where a client feels dissatisfied. I am a recent graduate from the University of Minnesota Law School and currently pursuing my bar license. During my law school career, I served for two years on Minnesota Law Review, participated in National Moot Court, and completed two research assistant positions. All of my past employers, including my most recent position as a law clerk at Taft Stettinius and Hollister LLP would say that I am a highly skilled writer, a hard worker, and detail-oriented. I have conducted various legal research projects on a wide range of topics. For a local civil litigator, a few of the topics I conducted research on were the Family Medical Leave Act, workplace discrimination, wrongful termination, the United States as a party-defendant, attorney-client privilege, spousal privilege, waiver of qualified privilege, notice and presentment, trustees, fraudulent concealment, beneficiary duties, the Federal Torts Claim Act, damages, Tucker Act and little Tucker Act, and discovery issues such as abuse of discretion. In this position, I produced research in as little as 24 hours and never faced the issue of not extensively researching and reporting on a topic. For another litigator with a multi-state practice, I completed research memorandums on the California Survival Action Statute, the dischargeability of unpaid tolls, and Florida's statute of limitations on collections. As for my other law clerk positions, I performed legal research on tax, energy, and consumer protection. I have worked extensively within litigation. As a law clerk at Price Law Group, I reviewed discovery documents and drafted discovery requests and responses. I also drafted complaints, demand letters, motions, briefs, and meet and confer letters. Additionally, I have experience drafting documents for testimony. In my position at Taft Stettinius and Hollister LLP, I drafted documents for both direct and cross-examination, including questions and answers and opening statements. And I have completed ample work for Alternative Dispute Resolution while in my position at MISO. I conducted research that proved pivotal in the ultimate ADR solution of a case and attended meetings with opposing counsel where I took detailed notes and summaries. As a paralegal at Tabak before law school, I polished my client service skills and learned to be a team player in a multi-department office. My department joked about how attached my clients became to me as their case manager. I had a client who no longer needed our services but still emailed me frequently to stay connected. I also dealt with difficult situations, such as helping a client receive Social Security and finding resources to leave an abusive spouse. I learned to balance efficiency with empathy. While getting done everything asked of me—including making a minimum of 100 calls to clients and social security offices per day—I learned how to maximize my time with clients. In doing so, I consistently build strong rapports leading to referrals for our services. I also have experience writing legal articles, both for public consumption and academia. In one of my law clerk positions, I composed long-form articles for the general public. I also wrote an article for Minnesota Law Review De Novo, where I discussed Islamic finance and the benefits of the green Sukuk. And I wrote an article for Minnesota Law Review on the constitutionality of boycott laws.
