Overview
With two literature-oriented degrees and multiple projects, jobs, and internships under my belt, I live and breathe in words.
I have years of experience in writing and critically reading, but my true calling lies in editing. I first began editing in 2013, and I have since worked in the literary and publishing industries alongside a variety of professionals such as publishers, researchers, writers, and others in related fields.
I have been around books since I can remember, which is probably why my career has been all about them too. In some senses, I never outgrew the books I first read, and I remain fascinated by the literature created for younger readers.
