I am a former news reporter and editor.

I have done proofreading for many websites, including How to Geek and Readers' Favorite.
I was an editor for a construction data website and I've written articles for women's magazines, farming publications, the military and judiciary.
I teach high school level English and ESL. I am a runner and enjoy a game of tennis now and then.
