Freelance editor—certified copy editor and proofreader

Head and shoulders picture of me. I'm a white woman in my forties with long dark-brown hair streaked with grey. I'm wearing a striped shirt and standing in front of a black background. I am a full-time freelance editor with ten years’ experience. I edit a variety of materials, including scientific, technical, and medical writing, as well as fiction (especially science fiction). I am a certified copy editor and proofreader with Editors Canada.
