Overview
Hello! I am an editorial professional with more than 10 years experience working in all aspects of book publishing. I am a skilled editor with an editing certificate from the University of Chicago Graham School and a BA in English from the University of Iowa. I have successfully developed and published more than 60 academic books. I aim to always keep the client happy and never miss a deadline. I am an expert in Microsoft Office and Adobe.After earning a degree in English with minors in mass communication and business from the University of Iowa, I began my career working in production for a global legal publication company. While pursuing my editing certificate at the University of Chicago, I began my career as an editor in educational publishing. There, I graduated from an assistant editor to a project editor to a developmental editor over the course of ten years. Most recently, I spent two years as a marketing editor for a construction company. In 2019, I left to pursue my first love full-time, editorial work.
