As a copy editor, stylistic editor, and proofreader, I work with traditional publishers, self-publishing authors, and clients on a diverse portfolio of non-fiction and fiction projects. In 2024-25, I served as the co-editor-in-chief of BoldFace, the official blog of Editors Toronto.

Non-Fiction: I enjoy working on projects related to disability and accessibility; Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA); political science, international relations, Latin American history; languages; and business, leadership, finance, non-profit; and policy review.
Fiction: I focus on literary fiction and genre fiction (science fiction, horror, thriller, mystery, and romance/queer romance).
