EDITOR. I’m an organized, reliable, and thorough editor of print and digital content with more than 25 years of experience. In recent years, medical editing has become a focus; clients in this field include NYU Langone Medical Center, the American College of Physicians, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the American Society of Clinical Oncology, and a medical communications group.

I am committed to producing quality content and communicating clearly and effectively. My services include copyediting, developmental editing, structural editing, content research, image research, website planning, content management, writing for search engine optimization (SEO), developing information architecture (IA), documentation development (house style guides, procedure manuals), proofreading, and more.
Computer skills include Word, Acrobat, Outlook, PowerPoint, Excel, website content management systems (including Drupal-based systems), social media (Facebook, LinkedIn), and Internet research. I have previous experience with Excel, Dreamweaver, Constant Contact, Dropbox, WebTrends Analytics, and Google Analytics.
Style manuals used include the Chicago Manual of Style, AP Stylebook, AMA Manual of Style, Scientific Style and Format: The CSE Manual, and numerous client-specific style manuals. I also develop style sheets and manuals for clients.
