Jenny Govier - Editor

At Colborne, I edited, proofread, indexed, fact-checked, evaluated, fetched lunch...really, just name it. I worked on legal documents, pregnancy manuals, romance novels, government brochures, magazine articles...again, anything you can think of.

Before becoming an editor, I worked as a trader and client services manager for a money management firm. My duties included overseeing account transactions; supervising administrative assistants; preparing and editing correspondence, documentation, and promotional material; and assisting in preparing financial plans.
