About

I'm a Literacy Specialist at a high school in Buffalo, NY. Prior to this opportunity, I've been a published writer for 18 years in newspapers, television stations, radio stations, social media, marketing, sports, websites, and business. I am familiar with a lot of different industries, which means I can probably speak the language of your company in some capacity and help you improve your written documents before they are disseminated.

It has been said that only two professions in the world allow a person to experience the lives of multiple people in multiple types of professions: journalists and actors. Fortunately, after 18 years as one and 13 years as the other, you will struggle to find a more well-rounded English nerd than I. I have always had a natural attraction to the written word, and now, thanks to some professional training in proofreading, I can pass on my knowledge to you.

The key to any partnership is communication. Fortunately for you, that is my specialty. If I have a question, I am not afraid to ask because the last thing I want is for us to not be on the same page as we work toward a finished project. You will find once we work together once, you will want to copy edit or proofread your work again and again for the best results. I will make sure all your commas are in the right place and all your words make the most sense.

My qualifications include:

Dean's List at Central State University, majoring in Educational Studies (4.0 GPA)

Bachelor's degree from University of Nebraska-Lincoln, majoring in Broadcasting; minoring in Theatre and English

Trained Proofreader through Proofread Anywhere

Trained Copyeditor through multiple newspaper outlets

Online Freelance Tutor/Copyeditor for Essay Writing

While I am willing to negotiate, my standard rates are:

Proofreading: $30/hr.

Copyediting: $60/hr.

Writing: $90/hr.
