I love working with words.
I have many years of experience writing and editing for newspaper and communications positions.
A lifestyle editor turned government employee, for the past 6 years I have been helping Washington State agencies rewrite their websites. I focus on writing for the web principles including 5th to 8th grade reading level words, search engine optimization strategy, and clear site navigation.
I have recently begun a year-long certificate program in copy editing from the University of California San Diego to expand my opportunities in this field. I am looking to work with authors who need help refining or editing their manuscripts.
