I'm a professionally trained editor who is ready to help make your project exactly what you want it to be.

Whether you need just a proofread or help organizing your project from the beginning and going from idea to published, I can help ensure that your project structure and style align with your goals and intended audience. I can help focus your voice and tone to convey your desired message. I can help you define exactly how you would like your piece to turn out, and then help you achieve it.

I was born and raised in rural Alaska and am Yupik Alaska Native, Diné (Navajo), Cherokee, and White. I lived a subsistence lifestyle with my family while I was young, foraging, fishing, and hunting. Now, I live in the Seattle area and am enjoying the large trees and salmon of the Pacific Northwest.
