Favorite referencing style

APA is my favorite. I used it as a student, so it comes naturally.

Why I became an editor

I’m a social impact professional on an international level. No matter how promising a project may be, I’ve seen that communications are often a barrier to success, when they should be an asset! I focus my efforts on shaping high quality, accessible communications for audiences around the world—supporting writers and professionals with diverse linguistic backgrounds.

Background and experience

I entered the field as a news editor and now provide editorial support to researchers and professionals around the world.

Why I love proofreading and editing

I love shaping concise, powerful messaging that accurately expresses my clients' work. I also love helping them elevate their own writing abilities.
