Services offered

I’m an editorial professional who loves helping stories shine. I’ve worked across publishing, children’s literature, and digital content, and I’m happiest when I’m collaborating with writers, creatives, and community‑driven teams. My background includes developmental editing, line editing, proofreading, and digital production — all grounded in a genuine love for clarity, voice, and storytelling.

I care deeply about creative community, young readers, and projects that make literature more accessible. Whether I’m editing a manuscript or supporting a team behind the scenes, I bring warmth, organization, and a steady commitment to thoughtful, high‑quality work.

If you enjoy storytelling, children literature, or creative collaboration, I’d love to connect.
