I am an editor and writer based in Victoria, BC, Canada…

For as long as I can remember, I have helped colleagues, friends, and clients clarify their writing, eliminate grammatical errors, narrow their thesis, and find their voice!

I love working with professional and independent folks to create their best work possible.

Work With Me 
Background

With a BA in English and Communications Studies and a graduate degree in Art History and Visual Studies, my editorial work is grounded in training in language and ideas. Years of teaching, film courses to beginner painting classes, have taught me how to meet people where they are and help them communicate at any stage of the process.

Experience

I have co-created academic courses, curated exhibitions, taught at the university level, and worked on large-scale public events with organisations like the Victoria Symphony. On every project, my role has been to help ideas hold together through clear writing, thoughtful structure, and respect for the people behind the work.

practice

Alongside my editorial work, I teach painting and yoga classes. While these practices may seem unrelated, they shape how I approach writing: attentive to rhythm, grounded in embodied intuition, and sensitive to how people actually receive information.

philosophy

Expressing yourself, no matter your background, training, or skill, is one of the great joys of human life. My goal is to support whoever I can in this pursuit.

We live in a moment where producing art is becoming more possible for everyone, while at the same time, AI writing, corporate copy, and generic phrases proliferate. In this landscape, we deserve to find and use our own voices.

Because that is the voice that gets you noticed.

AI, while being a useful tool, will never give you the unconventional edit or ask you the difficult questions that a skilled editor can.

I can take your work at any stage and show you where your words shine, and where you can grow. With a strong understanding of grammar, I will make your writing technically sound, but what about the parts of writing that aren’t technical? What about the abnormalities and idiosyncrasies that make your writing sound like you? If you want an editor who sees the value in that, I am here.
