About me
As the Rolling Stones would say, "Please allow me to introduce myself..."
I started working as an editor in 2010, and I've worked with clients from all over the world while building my business through positive word-of-mouth and recommendations. I pride myself on being a friendly and sympathetic editor, providing clear and actionable feedback and my keen eye for detail.
