Meet Your Editor
I've been editing since 2011, starting as a Writer's Workshop Leader and essay evaluator before becoming a Virtual Writing Consultant for dissertations and theses. With a Doctorate of Education, published creative work, and years as a special education teacher, I bring a rare combination of academic rigor and creative insight to every project.
