Experience (you can see my resume here)

Proofreader/Editorial Reviewer

In the spring of 2023, Nearpod asked me to join them for another project, this time as an Editorial Reviewer for K-12 Social Studies lessons. I am reviewing and revising lesson scripts for grade-level suitability as well as editing for grammar, syntax, spelling, and consistency.

In 2022, I finished a project proofreading K-5 math curriculum for Nearpod, an instructional platform for teachers which provides interactive, online lessons across a variety of subject areas. My role was to compare final lesson plans to the scripts from which they were generated and identify errors in grammar, spelling, syntax, consistency, layout, and overall readiness for publication.

Premier Team Writer

I write resumes, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles at Let's Eat, Grandma, named "The Best Resume Writing Services of 2022" by The Balance Careers. Within six months I was promoted to Premier Team Writer and twice named Writer of the Month, and at my one-year anniversary I was promoted to Level 4 Writer (the highest level) and asked to join both the Executive Concierge Team and the Escalations Team. LEG's mission is "to arm job seekers with the tools, confidence, and hope needed to advance in their careers" and I am excited to put my pen to work helping others find their dream jobs. I have also recently earned continuing education credits in the field by taking The National Resume Writers' Association’s Writing Excellence: Resume Writing 101 course.

Associate Editor

I typeset and proofread religious academic research manuscripts and articles for journal and book publication at the Global Center for Religious Research.

Typesetter/Copyeditor

Typesetter

Ghostwriter

By definition, a ghostwriter is uncredited for their work and a certain level of discretion is expected. I've written dozens of blog posts across multiple industries and I was the primary writer-blogger for client Garden of Esther, posting nearly 200 times under her name from January 2019 through June of 2020.

Writer

I wrote all the content on the websites I designed from the ground up, which you can also access through my Portfolio page. I've also written content for multiple newsletters, brochures, advertorials, and flyers.

I have been published in Home Education Magazine, and although they have since gone out of business, you can read my work for them on my Writing page.

Editor

In addition to editing all of the above, I've also edited for most of my clients, from revising written material they created already had to reviewing presentation slides to advising on new business cards.

I've worked with high school students on their college application essays, helping them tell their stories, in their own voices, while making sure their I's were dotted and their T's were crossed.

I've compiled and edited playbills for community theatres, polishing bios and managing layout challenges.

Designer

I've designed websites, flyers, brochures, and playbills.

Skills

Proficient with Wix and Canva; familiar with Publisher, Mailchimp, and SEO writing.

Judge

I've been a judge for the Independent Publishers of New England (IPNE) annual book awards for works published in 2020 and 2021.

Training

In November 2022, I completed several LinkedIn Learning Certificates:

In November 2021, I completed a 50-hour module in copyediting and proofreading at Proofreading Academy (now Knowadays).
