Get to know me.
I have a 4-year bachelor’s degree in English Literature and Political Science (with distinction) and university certificates in Editing and Plain Language.
To supplement my knoweldge, I regularly enroll in editing-related professional development from Canadian, US, and UK-based professional editing organizations.
I also have extensive training in Inclusion Equity, Diversity, and Accessibility (IDEA), with a particular focus in accessibility.
If you would like to learn a bit more about how I became a copy editor, including my educational background, professional training, experience, awards and recognitions, and professional editing memberships, please continue to my about me page.
Additionally, you may also continue to my profile on Editors Canada’s Online Directory of Editors, and my portfolio with my most recent work.
Currently, I serve as the assistant to the editor-in-chief for BoldFace blog, the official blog of Editors Toronto. There, you can find some recent copy editing and editing-related writings, such as Disability-Affirming Language: Person-First versus Identity-First Language and Finding Your Editorial Niche.
Finally, I am a strong proponent of continuous learning and supplement my training regularly to stay informed of current trends in the editing and writing worlds, as well as to refresh my current knowledge. You can find some of my editing and writing-related musings on my editing blog.
