I'm a Métis editor and proofreader, and I've been working in this field since 2018. I currently edit children's books at Orca Book Publishers, including picture books, early chapter books, fiction, nonfiction, and French translations. My editorial work also includes feature writing and proofreading for Island Fisherman magazine. I hold a Professional Editing Standards Certificate from Queen's University and have a background in English language teaching. Through my business, Dotted i's Editing & Proofreading, I work with self-publishing authors and small presses on fiction, nonfiction, and cultural accuracy projects.

Statement of Gratitude:
The lands we live on connect us to the stories of our past and those that will be told in the future-the stories upon which our profession is based. These lands sustain and nourish us, and our relationships with each other help us thrive. The Indigenous Editors Association gives thanks to the the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səlilwətaɬ Peoples who continue to steward the lands on which our head office is located, in Vancouver, BC. It is in this spirit of gratitude that we carry out our work as Indigenous members of the publishing community.
