I am a freelance journalist and editor with an MA from Columbia University in ethnography, and a BA from the University of Michigan in Asian Studies. For the past year, I have been a full time writer writer and editor for Colombia Reports, Latin American's largest English language press.&nbsp;<br /><br />Previously, I taught writing for ESL students&nbsp;at the City College of New York, the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development, and Beacon adult programs. I also had a steady stream of private clients in doctoral programs at Columbia University, helping&nbsp;people in fields varying from epidemiology to the humanities&nbsp;improve their papers, articles, and journal submissions.&nbsp;<br /><br />I relocated in 2014 to develop my career in journalism, and&nbsp;have decided to seek employment with a reputable&nbsp;editing service to cut down on time looking for new clients.<br /><br />My strength is developing writers through excellent feedback. When needed, I give support at the level of argument, organization, and development, in addition to spotting errors in grammar and sentence structure.<br /><br />I maintain good&nbsp;relationships with my clients, and am very responsive to&nbsp;all emails and other communications. As a newsroom editor, I am accustomed to delivering quality work within&nbsp;a very demanding publication schedule.<br /><br />Please contact me if you think I can be a positive contribution to your team. I look forward to hearing from you!<br /><br />My Best,<br /><br />Victoria Mckenzie
