Extraordinary editing since 1991. When I began my editing career, I specialized first in my college-major fields, mathematics and computer science, then expanded into various subjects, including STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics), the social sciences, political science, international relief, firefighting, and others. Since 2015, I been doing project management for journals in addition to editing. I work on journals, books, web content, and other formats.
In addition to being a member of ACES, I am a long-time member of the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA) and am coleader an EFA chapter. I have also been a speaker at various chapter meetings. I am a citizen member of the Recreation and Parks Commission of my town. In my spare time, I enjoy making quilts other textile arts.
