I am a nut about spelling and grammar, and I love to edit. My time in journalism school taught me that I enjoy editing far more than I enjoy writing, and that I'm good at it. I have spent years editing and proofreading academic work; not just my own, but my peers' work as well. I have also spent years editing and proofreading in a professional capacity, in the industries of advertising and education. I love the English language and it truly brings me joy to improve a piece of writing.
