Overview
I am a publication editor with multiple award-winning and high-profile projects distributed throughout the music industry. Prior to this, I worked in higher education and private music instruction, and I am also a part-time professional musician. I have a wide array of tastes and interests—everything from music to food, travel, theology. . . the list goes on! My #1 passion is to learn new skills and knowledge, so I definitely won't shy away from your project. I'm fully acclimated to working remotely (hey, there's a silver lining to the COVID cloud...), and I'm used to working in a deadline-oriented and collaborative environment. Most of my experience is related to music education, but that work is itself an interesting world—I've edited books that range from home recording techniques to playing jazz drum set, Irish tin whistle, and so much more! Just get in touch and we can get the ball rolling!
