About Me
I have over eight years of experience editing and writing content across various industries, including education and marketing. Currently, I am a copy editor at Red Ventures Education, where I ensure the quality, accuracy, clarity and style of online articles covering accounting, business and healthcare. ​
I have a BA in English from the University of Washington, Seattle. When I'm not in front of my laptop, I enjoy reading and exploring the forests and coastlines of the Pacific Northwest.
