I am a former High School English teacher from the Chicago area with six years of experience and a over a decade's worth of writing under my belt, including a stint as an Assistant Editor for a digital media company. I have taught an incredibly diverse range of students, so adapting to the needs of a client on a moment-to-moment basis is one of my greatest strengths. Proofreading and checking student work for use of Generative AI has given me a very good eye for spotting it as well as how best to smooth it out to read far more naturally. I specialize in differentiating and adapting language to better suit a variety of audiences and perspectives. Reaching people is all about conversation, and the most successful ones are those that adjust to the reader's sensibilities to make a strong connection. I recently decided to spend more time with my children, so I am available for both long and short-term contract work.

Objective: Part-time or full-time position as editor, writer or proofreader. My skill is taking copy already written and not only making it make sense, but creating a natural flow of one idea into another. I know when a reader starts to drift away from text, i can spot those holes in writing and bring the reader right back. Sometimes this just takes changing the language, but it could also need adding several more sentences. I excel at this. My journalism parents instilled this in me.
