Hello! I’ve been editing and proofreading since 2014, working with projects ranging from academic essays, fiction, employee handbooks, software manuals, AI- generated content, and slides for a medical student app. I make four passes through manuscripts for a typical project, focusing on spelling, grammar, punctuation, phrasing, flow, conciseness, and continuity. The fourth pass also checks over my work. Occasionally, I’ll add a pass or two, depending on a client’s request. I’ve been using the Chicago Manual of Style since the seventh edition and carry a hard copy of the newest edition when I travel in case I need to use it. I’m also familiar with APA and MLA. I’m a self-starter, well-organized, self-sufficient, and I hold confidentiality in high regard. I won’t hesitate to ask if I’m unsure about an instruction or need clarification. I might be responsible for enhancing someone else’s writing, but it’s that individual’s voice and intention instead of mine. I’m always available for questions and usually respond to messages within an hour. It can take up to three hours—or longer, depending on cellular service—to respond on travel days.

Wielding words from a bedrock of exploration to plan and build internal and external content and the systems to support it. Marketing. Internal processes. Brand voice. Creative writing. It’s all part of the blueprint of a business you’re trying to build. And the success of each part comes down to the engineering of words—for the clarity of your processes and of your message. As a Content Architect, I: 1. Fuse words into marketing funnels that create value, voice and trust at every stage. 2. Install words in internal documents that lead whole teams to a common goal. 3. Connect words that give brands a booming voice that's true to its vision. 4. Weave words into content of all kinds, from articles to specialty dictionaries. I've worked in marketing for a decade, which is how I got the knack for operations on the side. Marketing needs processes to work. I enjoy putting my Director of Operations hat on to solve specific problems for clients. I take the same puzzle-solving skills to the brands I build, because ultimately, building a brand requires following clear brand guidelines (which are more than hex codes and fonts, mind you). Then, I put words together to create content. I adore all kinds of content, from engaging worksheets that complement ebooks to whole ghost-written autobiographies. That's what I mean when I say I wield words. If you have words you think need to get out, whoever your audience, whatever your message, please say hello! • Worked for 150+ brands • Worked for clients in 40+ industries • Worked independently since 2016 • And loved every minute of it
