I've been a science writer/editor since 2014. My favorite part about being science writer is engaging with a new topic, diving deep, and learning all I can to really make a project succeed. My specialty is medical writing: I write/edit peer-reviewed journal articles, professional content, and hospital policy. I have spent over 10 years in the medical writing field, transcribing, editing, and researching, so that we can communicate complex information to the everyday reader. I love an industry that allows me to continue learning! You'll notice I also edit novels. I help authors get their stories ready for publication. I edit/proofread and format novels, and also provide ideas to help your story improve. I edit novels of any genre, notably historical romance, sci-fi/supernatural, psychological thriller, and just a good ol' fiction story. I edit, proofread, and format professional documents for companies, websites, and authors. I have worked for nurses, healthcare start-ups writing e-commerce, B2B hospitals writing policy, and independent clients needing help with up a blog post, website content, or email copy. Do you need your memo proofread? do you need a developmental editor for your story? Do you need to send out email copy, but you aren't great with words? Send it my way, I'd love to help! I enjoy working on long-term projects with clients; that allows us to gain a personal rapport and a better understanding of the topic. I'm a self-starter, enjoy the flexible hours that Upwork provides so I can get your project to you quickly! In my spare time, I ride horses, help in the dog show community, and train for ultramarathons.
