    With more than fifteen years of experience editing and writing, I edit materials of all kinds: novels, short stories, and video scripts, as well as non-fiction projects like cybersecurity whitepapers, technical documents, biographies, self-help, and blogs. What you can expect if you work with me: You can expect me to give every document THREE readings. The first is a simple read-through to get a feel for your writing style and voice, as well as the feel and scope of the document. The second reading is a content edit that focuses on flow, inconsistencies in writing style and grammar, and any work-specific issues I find. Once all of those issues are addressed, I will give the final document a proofread, making certain that both it and you look good.

    I’m the friendly, polite person who is always silently correcting everyone’s written and spoken grammar. As a former collegiate student newspaper editor, I have a passion for writing and editing. I’m a health care business development professional by day, assistant writer as a side hustle. I love helping companies build brand or product descriptions, assisting in editing resumes and term papers, and helping creative thinkers get their thoughts efficiently on paper. I also built and wrote my own fitness and healthy living blog for 8 years. The blog has since shut down since I became a working mom, but it hit a noteworthy 124,000 visits/month at its highest volume. I was highlighted as Fitness Magazine's "Bloggers We Love" Feature Blogger in November 2011, and I was a FitFluential Ambassador, Love Grown Foods Blogger, and Healthy Living Blogs Network Member. I'm creative, collaborative, and hardworking. I'd love the opportunity to write, proofread, or copy write for you!
