Testimonials | Résumé | LinkedIn
After earning my BA in Linguistics and Russian Language and Literature from the University of Washington (UW), I tutored English as a Second Language (ESL) at North Seattle College and in a freelance capacity. I then earned my certificate in editing from UW in 2017.
As a sensitive and detail-oriented copy editor, I am particularly attuned to the nuances of language usage, and I work diligently to ensure that my clients’ written communications are clear, effective, and polished. I go to great lengths to retain my clients’ unique voice and style while also ensuring their work is error-free and meets professional standards. I am well-versed in various style guides, including CMOS, APA, and MLA.
