Picture
As a freelance indexer, proofreader, copyeditor, and librarian, I am fortunate to be surrounded by books and words.

I have been freelancing since 2012, which is when I received indexing certification from UC Berkeley Extension. I am also a current member of the American Society for Indexing.

2019     completed Professional Sequence in Editing (UC Berkeley)
2012     indexing certification (UC Berkeley)
2007     Master of Library Science degree (St. Catherine University)
1993     B.A. in English / minor in Finnish (University of Minnesota)

My projects have included subjects such as sports training and fitness, nutrition, diet, health and wellness, history (American, local, Native American), cultural studies, cookbooks,  arts and crafts, and home improvement projects. However, all subject matter is welcomed and considered.

In my free time I like to be out running or hiking, or reading a book in the sun.
