    I am frequently reminded of the fact that my command of the written English language is one of my strongest skill-sets. From an early age, an effective way to construct sentences, paragraphs, and written works using proper grammar, punctuation, and syntax was drilled into my awareness through a strict education. This continued to be the case in college and in law school. I am an efficient and accountable editor, with experience in everything from creative writing to critical essays and legal articles/documents. I can make sure that your ideas are being communicated clearly and distinctly, while ensuring that your personal voice is preserved, with particular attention to grammar, punctuation, and construction.
