About Me
My mother was a librarian and an English teacher. As far as I can remember, I've always been fascinated with words – and I think I inherited her natural eye for editing. I work as an associate creative director and senior copywriter at an ad agency; a role which requires me to do a fair amount of copyediting. I'm proud to have been selected as a pro bono online copywriting / copyediting coach for [|Google Helpouts], an experimental live video platform that connected people with expertise in a specific area to people who needed help in that area. Helpouts lasted about a year and a half – and I had the pleasure of assisting many great non-profit organizations during that time with on-the-spot pro bono consulting. In that spirit, I'm proud to contribute to Wikipedia, to offer my unique writing and editing perspective in the quest to neutrally provide access to human knowledge. I look forward to future collaborations and I welcome conversations with other editors and contributors.
