I'm a professional member of the Chartered Institute for Editing and Proofreading (CiEP). I have a BA in International Studies and Political Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and an MA in National Security Studies from Georgetown University.
My publishing industry training includes 'Copy-editing by Distance Learning' (Publishing Training Centre) and 'Copy-Editing Problems' (CiEP). In a previous life, I conducted foreign policy and human rights research for Harvard University, the Institute for Foreign Policy Analysis and the US government. I copy-edit academic texts, specializing in political science. I have experience working with publishers, but prefer to work directly with authors to help get their books and articles ready for publication. I'm an American transplant to a beautiful English village along the River Thames between Reading and Oxford. When I'm not editing, I can often be found exploring the countryside on long walks or bike rides (or paddle boarding on the river in the summer!). I also love traveling, independent coffee shops, reading and photography. |
