Editor

I write and edit for clients in the sunlit space that inspires my blog.

I’ve produced features, books, presentations, policy papers, online copy, and more. My work ethic: ask questions, explain issues, provide updates, and meet deadlines.

Past
I worked for nine years at The RAND Corporation, promoting the think tank’s research and managing corporate communications while honing editing skills and gaining an education in policy analysis.

Pastimes
I’m a compulsive and critical reader. I participate in civic meetings, forums, executive events, and other interesting gatherings. I subscribe to many periodicals. I’m a book lover, public library booster, and Kindle owner.

Prepared
…FOR NEW PROJECTS! Past and present clients include business owners, publishers, journal editors, nonprofit organizations, professionals, entrepreneurs, and memoirists.
