Overview
I specialize in back-of-the-book and embedded indexing for textbooks, trade books, scholarly works, and reference materials. I provide embedded indexing in LaTeX, InDesign, and Word.
With over 20 years of experience—including seven years as an in-house indexer and thirteen years as a freelancer—I deliver accurate, professional indexes tailored to the needs of readers. My past projects span scholarly works, trade books, textbooks, medical journals, and reference books.
My subject specialties include Politics and International Relations, Psychology, STM disciplines, and Social Justice. I am meticulous, thorough, and precise, and I take deadlines seriously. I can also accommodate projects on short notice when required.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in life sciences and a master’s degree in management. I successfully completed the ASI training course and received a Certificate of Completion. To further strengthen my expertise, I have taken one-to-one courses with senior indexers and attended every ASI conference since 2012.
I believe strongly in the usability of the index as a tool, knowing that a well-crafted index directly enhances a book’s accessibility and saleability.
