Profile

I have over 10 years in the publishing and editing field, providing editing, proofreading, and indexing services to a variety of clients. These clients include individuals, university presses, and businesses. In addition, I have a master's degree in library science and have been a librarian and archivist for 12 years. My experience as a librarian and archivist is of tremendous assistance in ensuring that the facts and statistics in the material I edit and proof are accurate and complete. I have completed courses in editing and indexing from the Graduate School of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and am currently enrolled in a professional writing master’s program. In addition to being an editor, I also write historical materials and understand the particular needs and demands from the viewpoint of the author. My main areas of interest are Arizona history, natural history, archaeology, and women’s studies. I have worked on many multi-author books, which require the personal skills to interact successfully with a variety of people and to meld different writing styles into a cohesive book while still maintaining the individual authors’ voices. I have an excellent knowledge of the French language and a reading knowledge of the Spanish language. I am skilled in the use of medical terminology, having taken classes in this subject and having worked for 4 years as a medical librarian. I type approximately 120 w.p.m. and possess a great deal of knowledge and experience with Microsoft Word 2003 and 2007. I am detail oriented, disciplined, and highly organized. I work well independently and am able to prioritize and manage projects.
