My ability to edit has been honed during many years working for such publications as the San Francisco Chronicle, and I have been Chief Copy Editor for the Daily Californian newspaper in Berkeley, California. My writing has been published. I have the ability to apply pickiness in any required degree, depending on the job at hand. My reading knowledge of Latin, Greek, French and German has often come in handy even in processing English text, and my work in earning a master’s degree from Duquesne University has expanded the horizons of my knowledge.
