About Me
I have over eight years of experience editing and writing content across various industries, including education, communications, and marketing. Currently, I am a Copy Editor II at Red Ventures Education, where I ensure the quality, accuracy, clarity and style of career, education, and news content on NurseJournal.org and Psychology.org.
I have a BA in English from the University of Washington, Seattle, and a copy editing certificate from Emerson College. When I'm not in front of my laptop, I enjoy reading and exploring the forests and coastlines of the Pacific Northwest.
