Professional Experience
I've edited hundreds of personal essays and research-based feature articles, and I'm great at meticulously managing an editorial calendar, setting clear expectations of writers, teasing out critical points, shaping stories, and editing for fluidity and tone. As a journalist, I've covered everything from funding risk in mission-based start-ups to Tough Mudder races to the backstage of the Westminster Dog Show. I'm an expert interviewer, a top-notch copyeditor, and can turn high-quality stories around in short order.
