From journalism to entrepreneurship to corporate marketing, my career has always been driven by the power of a great story.

Today, as a freelance developmental editor, I bring that diverse background into my work with you. My job isn't to rewrite your sentences. It's to step back, see the big picture of your manuscript, and give you a roadmap for the structural revisions that will make your story stronger, while keeping the heart of it intact.

Professional Background

• Trained Developmental Editor: Completed the Developmental Editing for Fiction course at Editorial Arts Academy. My training was entirely hands-on, working directly on a real author’s manuscript under the mentorship of a seasoned industry editor.

• BA in Journalism, Minor in Literature: My journalism background taught me how to look at a story with a critical eye. I excel at stripping away the fluff, identifying structural problems, and finding clear, actionable solutions to tighten your narrative.

• Entrepreneurship Experience: As a business founder, I spent years crafting pitches for buyers, grants, and investors. This taught me how to take a big concept and reshape it for different audiences; a skill I use to help you find the strongest way to tell your story.

• Marketing Background: Keen insight into target audiences, reader engagement, and positioning. I bring a commercial eye to your manuscript to ensure it resonates with your ideal readers and stands out in a crowded market.
