Profile I graduated from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor with two degrees based in language. The first of these degrees was a major in English Literature; the second was a major in Germanic Studies, which focused on Literature and Language. I excelled in both of these fields and graduated with over a 3.5 GPA in both, as well as a minor in History.

Over the past few years since college, I have cultivated my knowledge of the English language and grammar by working in law firms and as an associate editor for a newswire agency. I am very familiar with legal terminology, as well as Chicago Style and AP Style grammar structures. During my time at a prominent law firm in New York, I excelled at what is colloquially called "Bluebooking" which delineates the grammar rules for legal documents as I was expected to both edit and summarize them on a regular basis.

Since leaving that position I have held two more editorial positions simultaneously as both the aforementioned associate editor at a well-known newswire agency as well as the more creative side of editing and writing as the music editor for a local Chicago Web site. During my tenure at the media Web site, I was responsible for both composing my own articles as well as editing the reviews of the writers I recruited.

I am also familiar with Search Engine Optimization, as well as the use of Social Media sites and would be happy to give feedback on any and all questions you have regarding those tools and your text.

Should you have any feedback or notes that you could give me on this profile that would better aid you in selecting me as your editor, please let me know.
