I'm an editor and writer with 20 years of professional experience and the former Copy Chief of Droga5, an award-winning ad agency, where I ran the Copyediting Department and worked on internationally renowned clients and campaigns until 2016.
I juggle multiple tasks as a freelance editor and writer: ghostwriting a weekly media blog for Extreme Reach and editing courses for Google. I've worked as a copywriter on brand campaigns, going from pitch to polished deliverables. I write website and UX copy, along with articles for print magazines and online publications. I act as the final arbiter on discussions regarding grammar and language for major global agencies and brands.
I've been instrumental to processes that develop inclusivity and accessibility language databases to flag unconscious bias, and I supported the creation of the advertising industry's first proofreaders' mark used to reduce unintentional bias. Its effects are proven: It reduced unconscious bias at one agency by 20%.
Clients include Google, Extreme Reach, Alto, Droga5, School of Visual Arts, Lululemon, Aesop, Beauty Launchpad and Human Kinetics, among others. I'm fluent in French and Romanian. Technical skills include proficiency with Adobe Acrobat, Google platforms, Microsoft Office, Chicago Manual of Style, AP Style, Garner's and more.
