Detroit, Michigan, United States

I am a line editor and copy editor for self-publishing authors of both fiction and nonfiction. My focus is on maintaining the author's voice while providing detail-oriented editing that focuses on clarity and consistency.

I edit articles for the international Pediatric Radiology medical journal. My focus is on consistency and clarity while adhering to the tenets of Springer publishing and Dorland's Medical Dictionary. I strive to make complicated text approachable for readers with and without medical backgrounds. The articles I edit often feature writers for whom English is a second language. I collaborate with radiology specialists to improve their writing and reporting. I am proficient with ScholarOne Manuscript.

As the digital media manager, I curate www.kappanonline.org, and initiate and manage social media strategy and the promotion of PDK assets. I also participate in editorial planning and discussions and edit Kappan magazine. I've developed baseline profiles of kappanonline.org and pdkpoll.org. I manage the presence of PDK and Kappan on Facebook and Twitter and monitor analytic tools to track these assets with a goal of improving traffic and engagement. My goals are to expand the reach and impact of Kappan and PDK social media and to provide educators with timely, interesting, well-researched content for their professional development.

I led a team in producing a Web site that draws in about 3 million viewers a day. I edited staff and wire copy for the award-winning freep.com with the aim of giving readers clear and concise news with appealing presentation. I used video and photos as a means of telling a story in a more complete way. I excelled at optimizing content for search engines. I was consulted throughout the newsroom for my news judgment and expertise on grammar and style. I was a digital strategist who used Twitter, Facebook and other social media to promote freep.com.
