Project Management • Editing • Writing • Teaching • Research
Excellent communication and organization skills enable me to efficiently manage complex projects of professional, technical, and academic origin for a diverse range of clients. Recent clients have included the IEEE Engineering and Medicine and Biology Society; Steelcase, Inc.; Ferris State University; Phanes Press; Michigan Technological University Department of Humanities; the Organization for the Study of Communication, Language, and Gender; as well as several individuals. Specific tasks vary by project and comprise securing writing, design, and other professional services; developing and maintaining production schedules and budget; arranging client and service professional contact; editorial content review and revision; creative direction; and writing.
I have worked as both an editorial and copy editor on a variety of publications including more than 40 books, multiple journals, scientific and university magazines, creative writing publications, and technical workbooks. For many of these, I have also served as the creative director overseeing page design and layout.
From marketing to research, my professional writing experience includes copy writing, magazine articles, presentations, training materials, and editorial commentary.
