After obtaining my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in literature, I started my career as a college English instructor in 1991. &nbsp;Five years later, I earned a second Master's degree in education and proceeded to the next phase of my career as a high school English teacher. &nbsp;After a hiatus as a stay-at-home mother, I became a tutor. &nbsp;My work includes college admissions essay writing, Advanced Placement and SAT literature and writing test preparation, home school writing and literature curriculum implementation, and academic writing support for high school, college and graduate school students. &nbsp;As a teacher and tutor, my work has always involved editing students' writing, so being an editor is a natural fit for me. &nbsp;I have also provided editing services for a local private school on their accreditation documentation and the brochure for their annual major fundraising event.
