I'm a line editor, copy editor, proofreader, and indexer specializing in academic and education documents in the natural sciences and engineering, including journal articles, grant proposals, teaching materials, reports, manuals, and operating procedures. I help authors from academia and business to express themselves in clear, precise, and professional prose; I connect readers and authors through the creation of high-quality back-of-book indexes. I hold a masters degree in chemistry and a PhD in earth and environmental sciences. I am a trained and experienced researcher, and my deep, multidisciplinary background means that I understand scientific writing and can edit appropriately with the document's purpose in mind.
Additionally, I served as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in South Africa, making me attuned to the challenges of living and working outside of one's home country as well as communicating in a second language.
I approach every project as a collaboration and help authors to confidently, accurately, and efficiently convey their ideas to the world. My topic specialties include geology, chemistry, earth systems science, geochemistry, sustainability, teaching, education, and learning technology.
