About Me
My intense love of fiction and writing led me to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in journalism with a minor in English. I'm a graduate of the Edit Republic High Level Proofreading and Editing course. I'm also a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association, and have completed copy editor training through their association.
I've spent the past 12 years studying brand messaging, while crafting both written and creative content as the marketing director for a successful boutique real estate firm.
​
My attention to detail and enthusiasm for the written word naturally led me into the world of copyediting, and proofreading for creatives.
​
I offer my clients a unique blend of both fiction, and real world content creation editing skills.
I'm excited to support indie authors, creatives, and entrepreneurs as they tell their story!
