I investigate online sources to check manuscript accuracy, and suggest revisions if I find discrepancies. I check both captions and document text.

St. Paul, Minnesota

Working at Smith House Press, I am fact-checking and copyediting manuscripts. My work has required me to also be a developmental editor. I am extensively editing, depending on the story. I rearrange pieces to fit a narrative, and I work with the author to trim or remove stories that don't fit with the tale they're trying to tell.

While writing articles for Metropolitan State University's online newsletter, News@Metro, I have to interview subjects for my pieces. My work has also required my to archive two years of past assets in an online database.

I had a variety of roles at Redleaf Press. While I copyedited and fact-checked manuscripts, I also compiled customer lists to help the Sales department reach their customers. Additionally, I was checking versions of manuscript pages to see that changes had been carried out.

Eden Prairie, Minnesota
