I help agencies and growing businesses manage website, SEO, and content projects from idea to execution with clear communication, strong organization, and polished final deliverables. My background combines 10+ years of digital marketing, SEO copywriting, website content strategy, and client-facing project coordination. I’ve managed website builds, landing pages, SEO content, content updates, and marketing deliverables across a wide range of industries, including legal, healthcare, wellness, professional services, nonprofits, financial services, and tech. I’m especially strong at keeping digital projects moving. I can coordinate between clients, designers, developers, writers, SEO teams, and internal stakeholders to clarify scope, track deadlines, manage feedback, QA deliverables, and make sure the final product is clear, accurate, functional, and aligned with the client’s goals. I specialize in: - Website project management and client coordination - SEO content strategy and on-page optimization - Website copy, landing pages, service pages, and blogs - Content audits, page flow, and user experience improvements - QA for copy, design consistency, links, forms, functionality, and formatting - Managing contractors, writers, designers, developers, and feedback cycles - Turning messy ideas, rough drafts, or outdated pages into clear, polished content - Using AI tools efficiently while applying senior-level editorial judgment and SEO strategy Earlier in my career, I trained and managed teams of 100+ writers, which gave me a strong editorial foundation and a clear eye for quality, structure, tone, and usability. I’ve also worked with multiple agencies in project management, website management, and white-label content roles, so I understand how to jump into existing workflows, communicate professionally with clients, and keep projects organized without needing to be micromanaged. I’m comfortable working in WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Duda, and other CMS/page builder platforms, and I can adapt quickly to new systems, templates, SOPs, and team processes. I also understand how to use AI as a productivity tool without letting the final work feel generic. I can work from AI-assisted drafts, prompts, or templates while improving the strategy, clarity, SEO value, brand voice, and overall quality of the finished content. Whether you need someone to manage a website project, coordinate content deliverables, improve SEO pages, QA a site before launch, or bring structure to a busy digital marketing workflow, I can help keep the work moving and make sure the final result is polished, useful, and on-brand.

Language is my super power! You've got a brilliant manuscript, right, full of amazing plot twists and magnificent characters, but you need someone to rip apart the grammar and (very kindly) point out all the plot holes that need plugging? Well, thanks to my neurodivergent brain, I am obsessed with grammar and can nitpick the crap out of your plot holes. But don't worry -- I'll be nice about it. I specialize in American English for science fiction, fantasy, and almost all subgenres therein. The two exceptions to that would be paranormal romance and military sci fi. Nothing against those genres, but they're just not for me, and you want an editor who is immersed in books just like yours all the freaking time. So what genres do I splash into with gusto? Space Opera, Epic Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, First Contact Stories, Steampunk, Paranormal Cozy, High Fantasy, Low Fantasy, Paranormal Women's Fiction, Dystopia, Space Western, Magical Realism, Comic Sci Fi, Comic Fantasy, Hard Sci Fi, Dark Fantasy, Soft Sci Fi, Fairy Tale Retellings, Slipstream, Superheroes, Zombies, and probably more that I can't think of off the top of my head. What's it like to work with me? I work quickly and efficiently and my style of direct-but-kind communication has left many authors feeling motivated and inspired. My goal is to help you make your book the best it can possibly be and to help you grow your skills as a storyteller. Ultimately, however, it is your book and I am merely a guide. I would be honored to be a member of your publishing team. Alongside editing and proofreading services, I also offer sensitivity reading. As a person on the autism spectrum, I will read manuscripts written by non-autistic authors with autistic characters, and let you know what you got right, what you got wrong, what made me uncomfortable, and what made me feel seen. I was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder as an adult, and will do best with characters who didn't grow up knowing they were autistic. That could be a character who still doesn't know but displays autistic traits or a character who suspects they may be autistic, as well as someone who has been diagnosed in adulthood. Please keep in mind that autism is a spectrum and that I will be evaluating based on my experience and the experience of others I know with the same diagnosis as me. It would be impossible for me to speak for all autistic persons.
