Profile

Certified Copy Editor, Stylistic Editor, and Proofreader. I have been working full-time as an editor in the book publishing industry for six years (including over three years as an in-house production editor at Oxford University Press). I also spent seven years writing and editing technical documentation.

I completed the Ryerson University Certificate in Publishing in 2008. I bring to my work an excellent command of grammar and style, effective and thorough copy-editing and proofreading techniques, good writing skills, familiarity with the publishing process, and solid project management skills and tools.
