Highlights
|
I am a professional technical editor and freelance editor with a range of experience in several fields. As a technical editor for several defense contractors, I have edited computer-based courseware and training materials for a variety of defense clients, including the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Navy. In this role, I have worked with highly technical material.
In addition to my professional experience, my freelance career has exposed me to a variety of editing opportunities. I regularly work with graduate students and professors, editing dissertations, theses, academic journal articles, and conference proposals. I have collaborated with academic departments and institutes, editing nationally released publications. Additionally, I have edited three books and currently work with several small business to develop their marketing/communications materials and websites.
My breadth of experience has exposed me to everything from technical flight manuals to creative fiction. I am comfortable working with a variety of documents and enjoy this diversity in my work. I edit efficiently and thoroughly, always meeting my clients' deadlines and working within their budgets. No project is too small, and I am eager to continue to expand my freelance experience.
