Professional Experience
Specializing in writing and editing for digital media, I'm an established editor, writer, and meticulous proofreader. I've edited the gamut from medical and health books, legal documents, and military manuals, to fiction and nonfiction manuscripts, and digital magazines. I've written columns about Middle Eastern mythology, history, architecture, health, medicine, food, and travel.
