Go to See My Editing Portfolio to see the books I've worked on and the types of editing I've provided. 

My goal is to cultivate a friendly and professional relationship with my authors. If I'm doing my job right, my influence on the manuscript should be near invisible.  

 I celebrate writing that breaks the rules and take an unfussy editing approach. I am not a hard-nose, judgey grammarian who wields grammar guides like weapons (though I do reference the Chicago Manual of Style religiously).

My favorite books to read generally fall into literary fiction and speculative fiction genres, though I can find something to appreciate about most genres. I'm one of those "nose stuck in the book, will read anything" kind of people. 

I am a Baylor grad from Central Texas, though I now live in Colorado. I currently work as an executive coordinator for a technology company working to create tech solutions to create a more equitable world. 

My professional background is in behavioral healthcare, and I pursued continuing education in editing and proofreading, both of which I've demonstrated my competency through the completion of certificate programs. 

I am a member of the Editorial Freelancer Association, ACES: The Society for Editing, and the Northwest Editors Guild.
