Professional/Personal Overview
Enthusiastic, meticulous copy editor and writer seeks assignments. Clients have included newspapers, consumer magazines, websites and a state agency. I’m used to working in fast-paced environments and on time-sensitive projects. I have a master’s degree in English literature, and close reading comes naturally, as does a desire to make narratives straightforward and engaging.
