With a strong interest in grammar and flow, I strive to ensure your intended meaning shines through in your work.

I have experience as an Editor in Chief for a technical documentations company and for two independent publishing houses. My experience performing developmental, substantive, stylistic, copy editing and proofreading has culminated in my teaching a course called “the Basics of Editing” at Memorial University of Newfoundland. In 2005, I was nominated for Editors' Association of Canada’s Tom Fairley Award for Editorial Excellence.
