<p>I am a writer and handlettering illustrator living in Reno, Nevada.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I have 5 years of experience in &nbsp;writing (blogging and online publications), editing, marketing and teaching. &nbsp;I have been sought out to edit/proofread for as long as I can remember. I have edited articles and academic work at the undergraduate and graduate levels. In 2013, I completed a 12-week editing internship for The Borgen Project/BORGEN Magazine, and was invited to serve as their Feature Editor/Publisher for another month after. During this time, I edited and published 400+ articles. I was eventually hired to assist a marketing firm, and later to create content as Creative Director for a venture service studio.&nbsp;<br /><br />I am also a poet and book reviewer. I collaborate with other poets, and we meet monthly to analyze literature and discuss current events.&nbsp;<br />My degree focuses on human communication and human development. I am highly interested in human physiology and human character, and I am currently pursuing a graduate degree in theology.&nbsp;<br /><br />Details and laser-focus are key when I am at work on a piece. I compare lines for errors and continuity; I look for the author's voice and craft the content to match it, cutting out anything that creates dissonance. I examine grammar, spelling, overall content, facts vs. opinions, formatting and style (especially for online works). I am currently looking to expand my skillset and I welcome the creative challenges editing brings.&nbsp;</p>
