I've studied English language and literature for six years at a collegiate level. I have an Associate of Arts degree in English from Taft College, a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Language and Literature from California State University, Bakersfield, and I am projected to graduate with a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing from Chatham University. My skills in creative writing have enhanced my technical writing skills. I proofread, copy edit, and mentor undergraduate and graduate students of various academic fields ranging from nursing science to creative manuscripts for Chatham University's Writing Center. Additionally, I freelance as a manuscript copy editor and formatter for my colleagues at Chatham University. I am skilled with high-level, academic and technical writing as well as various forms of creative writing such as fiction, creative non-fiction, and poetry. English language, technical and creative writing and editing, strong reading comprehension, an ability to translate niche information and knowledge to a broad audience, and an eye for detail and teamwork are some of my most prominent skills as a proofreader, copy editor, and writer.
