Objective

A dedicated and experienced editor with a strong background in both biomedical manuscript and fiction/nonfiction book editing. Seeking opportunities to leverage my expertise and passion for precision in an editorial role.

Summary

My comprehensive background merges expertise in healthcare as a pharmacist and a seasoned editor. I've managed diverse projects, including biomedical journal articles, pharmaceutical slide deck presentations, and graduate research papers. As a former pharmacist consultant, I authored newsletter articles on medical practice guidelines and drug updates. I also conducted drug research for personalized medicine applications. Fact-checking and adherence to AMA and CMOS style guidelines are integral to my editing process.

Beyond biomedical manuscripts, I engage with fiction authors as a developmental and copy editor, realizing their creative visions with clarity and satisfaction.
