Hello and Welcome! 

I didn’t choose the editing life; the life chose me. And how could I say no to that face? With an eye for detail rivaling the T-2 and a chameleon-esque ability to honor and enhance the author’s unique voice, being an editor is one of the highlights of my existence. You see, I used “existence” there because I’d already used “life” twice at the beginning of this introduction.

With five years of experience in the publishing industry and two decades of nonprofit administrative work under my belt, I am adaptable, amiable, and a devourer of new skills. While I take my work very seriously, I like to have fun whenever and wherever possible—even in the “About Me” section of my website. If that’s the sort of work environment you enjoy, you may want to consider me for your project.

I'm blessed to be an editor and proofreader for Space and Time magazine, which is something of a dream for me. Check it out if you haven't done so, especially if you are outside-the-box in any way.

I serve as the Program Coordinator for the Horror Writer's Association's Mentorship Program. and get to play matchmaker between mentors and mentees. It is highly rewarding and has helped me to further refine my coaching skills.

I completed an editing mentorship under the eyes of a seasoned editor. Allison Erin Wright graciously took me under her wing and helped me refine my services to a professional standard. She's amazing and offers all forms of editing. Check her out at: Honeycombediting.com

And not to be understated...I'm also an author. I understand firsthand how our stories are like our children and will treat yours with the same love and respect that I have for my own.

I live in a small town on the shores of Lake Michigan and enjoy crunching the leaves beneath my boots on hikes with my husband and daughter.
