I’m an editor with over five years of experience working with independent news outlets and local book publishers. I focus on a collaborative editing process with the goal of making writers’ work effective in communicating their message, and artful in maintaining their specific voice and style.
As a freelance editor, I currently work part-time as managing editor at Prairie books NOW, and recently developed and launched their website.
I’ve written professionally for the last decade, including local arts coverage, new stories, columns, and personal essays. I’m currently developing a memoir manuscript thanks to funding from the Manitoba Arts Council.
Leading up to my life as an editor, I spent a decade in community health, working in areas of sexual and reproductive health, midwifery, eating disorders, teen drop-in clinics, and harm reduction. I wore many hats, including as a health educator, where I led community workshops on a wide range of topics and honed my skills in research and plain language communication.
