Professional Experience
A certified obsessive-compulsive, I have a history of 20 years as a copy editor/proofreader.
While I was the copy chief of a now-defunct division of a major publishing house, I also functioned as a part-time acting coach.
I hold a certificate in geriatric emergency preparedness.
Having survived the humiliation of auditioning to be a touring Muppet, I am now practically fearless.
Thank you.
