As a copyeditor and communications professional, my priority is making your writing clear and concise without changing your voice.Formerly a career counselor, my own career journey brought me to the world of communications within higher education, ensuring that messaging for nontraditional and underrepresented students was clear and welcoming. My experience working with nontraditional and returning adult students in higher education settings guides my work in communications as I support the writing of my colleagues who are providing direct service. I have a certificate in copyediting and, as a freelance copyeditor, I specialize in content for websites, blogs, articles, newsletters, digital courses, social media, knowledge bases, marketing, promotion, and event materials (e.g. invitations and programs).Given my background in career counseling and academic advising, I am skilled at reviewing materials for job and college/ graduate school applications.Seminars I have taken include email strategy, writing for accessibility and inclusiveness, and LinkedIn.A note about my background photo: The typewriter belonged to my mother. She purchased it in Germany where she lived with my dad while he was serving in the U.S. Army in 1955 and 1956. Mom graduated from the J school at Marquette University. She went on to be an editor and public relations manager. I am thrilled to be following in her editing footsteps and really wish she was still around to see it.
