Clients come to me for developmental editing, line editing, proofreading and fact-checking—especially when the subject matter is complex or interdisciplinary. I bring years of editorial experience, a sharp eye for structure and a deep respect for voice.

Whether you’re polishing a manuscript for publication or tightening up academic work for a broader audience, I’ll work closely with you to elevate the language, keep the facts straight and make sure every sentence does its job.

Collaborative, detail-driven and honest—that’s what you can expect when we work together.
