A little about me...

I have more than 25 years of administrative experience including government, industry, and the not-for-profit sector.

Since graduating from the journalism program at the Western Academy of Photography, I have focused my work using my writing, editing and proofreading skills. I have worked in publishing as an editor for special interest magazines and in production of legislative amendments requiring a sharp eye for details.

Additionally, I have been involved with producing newsletters for a variety of non-profits for five years, most notably the Bridges for Women Society. Please visit the society's publications page for further information.

I have written feature and news stories for a variety of audiences and my work has been published nationally. I am a member of PEAVI, the Professional Editors Association of Vancouver Island and frequently take part in workshops hosted by PEAVI. Most recently, I participated in "The Secrets of Syntax" and "Eight Step Editing" workshops.
