I am a former newspaper reporter and editor, as well as a certified English 6-12 teacher. My newspaper experience includes Miami's Coral Gables Times-Guide, Miami Herald Neighbors, and Tampa's Bay Area Entertainment News. I went on to become the Editor of the Bay Area Entertainment News. My newspaper proofreading experience includes checking the biweekly galleys of the Times-Guide before the paper went to press.
I have been a teacher of journalism and English for 16 years. I served as the school newspaper advisor at my school in Miami for 10 years, overseeing all aspects of publication, and being the last word in editing after the student editors were done. Additionally, in my many years as an English teacher, I have edited and graded literally thousands of student essays.
I have a discerning eye and a respectable command of the English language. In my years as a teacher of English literature, I became versed in the elements of fiction and poetry. I am comfortable editing fiction or non-fiction, so feel free to put my talent to work on your autobiography, short stories, novels, poems, and business/technical writing.
Additionally, I have experience marketing alternative health products and devices, and I have written copy for print and broadcast in this field.
So put me to work on your pet project. You'll be glad you did.
