Overview
I am a freelancer editor with a bachelor's degree in English, concentration in Creative Writing. Member of ACES: The Society for Editing.
Throughout high school and college, I edited for friends and family and knew I wanted to continue. I spent five years at a law firm proofreading and fact-checking. In 2019, I took a chance and left my job to make a career out of freelance editing.
My deep love for the written word has compelled me to soak up all the knowledge I can about it. With my love of reading and years of experience editing, I offer a service stemming from my passion for polishing and perfecting the creative words of others. I want to help you elevate your writing and produce something as close to perfection as humanly possible.
Let me help you turn your manuscript into a novel.

Work experience
Aethon Books
Aethon Books is an independent science fiction and fantasy publisher operating out of the United States.
I started working with Aethon Books as a proofreader and began copy editing shortly after. I mainly edit fiction sci-fi, fantasy, and action/adventure (LITRPG/GameLit) for them.
Self-employed
I left my "safe job" in July 2019 to freelance when I realized that I wanted my path to be paved by the creative words of others and not contracts and legalese at a law firm.
Weltman, Weinberg & Reis
I started this job proofreading documents and doing data entry. It gave me valuable skills and the experience necessary to become a freelancer. Skills like professional organization, working with others in a professional setting, patience, the ability to adjust when needed, and working independently without micromanagement.
