Expertise I know a little bit about a lot of things, including information design, the Maya, mythology, archaeology, geology, cartography, astronomy, Roman life in the 1st century CE, and many more subjects, both common and obscure. I doubt that I'm an expert in anything.

Languages Fluent in American and British English (leading to occasional confusion between the two in writing)

I have taken classes in Latin (2 yrs), Spanish (1 yr) and French (1 yr), so I tend to note pattern differences in European languages written in Roman letters when compared to English. I used to work with the EU producing magazines in 8 languages; I designed water bills in English and Welsh for Dyr Cymru/Welsh Water, and warranty cards for Sony in 12 languages (with a 25% response rate).

Skills I am an experienced copy editor/proofreader and good at checking style once I am familiar with the organization's preferred characteristics. And I've been known to snag factual errors now and again.

Education BA, Anthropology, Univ Calif - Santa Cruz; +2 yrs, community college, IT
