My grandma always kept a pen nearby when she read the newspaper or Reader’s Digest so she could correct typos, punctuation errors, and awkward grammar in published texts. She didn’t judge the writer for making mistakes—she just loved the challenge of her personal search-and-find game.

Thankfully my grandma shared her love of language and her keen eye with me, and I discovered the thrilling power of words at a young age. Decades later, I use these inherited traits from my grandma every day in my work as an editor and writer.

I’ve been editing and writing professionally for more than 14 years, and I feel so lucky that I get to play with words every day as I help clients with deeply personal narratives. Whether you need help writing a family story, an annual report, or a debut novel, I will help you deliver your message in a clear and compelling manner. Don’t worry, I’ll never judge you for mistakes or for the content of your work—I just enjoy the process, and I’m honored to help you craft your narrative.

My goal as an editor is to help you tell your story in the most engaging way so you feel proud of your work and confident in its quality. I take a Leave No Trace approach to editing: I maintain your unique diction as I edit, so my work will be invisible—yet palpable—in the final draft.

While most of my clients find me through word-of-mouth recommendations, I also work with the freelance website ServiceScape, where I’ve achieved Elite Editor status. If you’re interested in reading unbiased client reviews from the last 14 years, check out my ServiceScape client reviews.
