I have worked in the publishing business since 1991 and have broad range of editorial, production, and project management skills and experience. My strong belief in lifelong learning and continuous growth leads me to seek out new challenges and opportunities.
In the course of my career I’ve had the opportunity to learn not only editorial and project management skills, but also basic layout and design. These skills have served me well in developing my “eye” for when something is off in a proof and in avoiding problems in layout by preparing manuscripts with layout needs in mind.
