About

I've always been a word nerd. You know, one of those people who flinches when they see a typo on a menu or can't help but correct the grammar on their breakfast cereal box. But I also have a deep and abiding love for thoughtful, well-crafted writing, and after enjoying a long and winding career path in science and education, it just felt natural to me to transition into editing.

​

My educational background is in ecology, evolutionary biology, and animal behavior, and I have more than six years of experience as a science educator and over eight combined years of experience in proofreading and copyediting academic, technical, and popular nonfiction writing. In 2021, I moved into a more traditional copyediting role, editing book proposals and nonfiction titles. As a former scientist and educator, I'm skilled at fact checking, time management, and respectful and effective communication. Through my more recent copyediting experience, I have become highly proficient in editing with track changes in Microsoft Word and utilizing The Chicago Manual of Style.
