I work independently to write curriculum-based books for children, complete with captions, sidebars, activities, experiments, and glossaries. I conduct extensive research, draft outlines, develop manuscripts, select artwork, and review and revise final layouts. With more than 100 published titles to my name, I have covered subjects in a wide range of fields, including science, history, geography, sports, and pop culture.

In my ongoing role as a freelance editor, I use my keen eye for detail to meticulously edit and proofread children's books (both fiction and non-fiction) and other educational materials. Over the past 14 years, I have completed editing projects for Scholastic Canada, Inhabit Education, Crabtree Publishing, and other reputable publishing companies.
