Why I became an editor
I’m a social impact professional on an international level. No matter how promising a project may be, I’ve seen that communications are often a barrier to success, when they should be an asset! I focus my efforts on shaping high quality, accessible communications for audiences around the world—supporting writers and professionals with diverse linguistic backgrounds.
Background and experience
I entered the field as a news editor and now provide editorial support to researchers and professionals around the world.
Why I love proofreading and editing
I love shaping concise, powerful messaging that accurately expresses my clients' work. I also love helping them elevate their own writing abilities.
Favorite book:
Any book by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Hobbies:
I love listening to radio news, camping, learning new languages, and attending concerts.
Editing tips:
I prioritize maintaining the author's voice and often leave comments with alternative edits. This gives the author more agency, allowing them to select the word or phrase that best speaks to them.
