I have worked as an editor, translator, and German teacher for over 12 years. My areas of expertise include literature, environmental science, ecology, atmospheric chemistry, language acquisition, education, dance, and health and fitness. I also have extensive experience editing cover letters, personal statements, business documents, personal letters, dissertations, theses, journal and magazine articles, romance novels and other works of fiction, press releases, poetry, essays, catalogs, instruction manuals, requests for political asylum, syllabi, travelogues, field guides, proposals, textbooks, scientific posters, newsletters, documents written by non-native English speakers, and more. I enjoy helping others refine what they have written, assisting them with effectively expressing their ideas in ways that they might otherwise not be able to. Over the years, I have developed a keen eye for ways in which to elevate language and enhance eloquence and flow, as well as for spotting and correcting errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence and paragraph or essay flow. I have continually proven myself to pay close attention not only to what is being said but also to the register, tone, and manner in which it is being said and to adjust my written work accordingly so as to provide clients with professional work of the highest caliber. I look forward to working with you!
