I have a Ph.D. in English from UC Berkeley and extensive knowledge of current scholarship in the humanities. I also write a food blog, "The Roving Locavore" (www.therovinglocavore.com), which records experiences and recipes from places I've lived, including Vermont, Minneapolis, and Rome, Italy. I am conversant in a wide range of fields, from literary and scholarly to culinary and environmental. As my editorial, teaching, and graduate work demonstrates, I am highly organized and can work effectively on a variety of different tasks while promptly meeting deadlines. I am detail-oriented and focused, and have a solid working knowledge of proofreader's symbols and their usage. My communication skills, both written and oral, are excellent.

I freelance full-time. I live near Minneapolis-St Paul, MN. I am willing to travel locally. I have a driver's license. I have access to a car.
