My work is rooted in collaboration. I listen carefully, learn your goals, and help you find the structure, tone, and flow that bring your ideas to life. Whether you’re refining an academic book, shaping a memoir, or developing thought-leadership content, my role is to strengthen both your writing and your voice.

Before editing full-time, I spent eight years teaching writing at DePaul University, where I learned that great writing emerges from clarity of thought, curiosity, and craft. I hold an MA in Written Communication and a BS in English Language and Literature from Eastern Michigan University, and I’m an active member of the Editorial Freelancers Association and ACES: The Society for Editing, with advanced training from the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP).

Books and articles I’ve edited have been published by presses including MIT Press, University of California Press, and Duke University Press, and in journals such as The Review of Economics and Statistics and Journal of Consumer Culture. My own essays have appeared in literary journals, nominated for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net, and noted in The Best American Essays. Always on the lookout for a good story, I also work as a freelance writer and content strategist for businesses, organizations, and publications.
