I am Canadian.

I grew up in British Columbia, Canada, lived in the U.S. for 10 years, and now live in France.

I bring:

  • Over 15 years of experience editing for academics and non-academics

  • Over 20 years of experience teaching English and working with non-native speakers of English

My education includes:

  • A PhD from the University of Chicago (2017) in English Language and Literature

  • A Masters in English and Creative Writing (2010) from Concordia University in Montreal, Canada

  • A Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting (2005) from the Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver, Canada

I pursue an active writing practice of my own.

  • I relate to my clients as fellow writers.

  • It is my privilege to help them share their research and tell their stories.

In addition to editing:

  • I teach university English at the École normale supérieure de Lyon, one of France’s grandes écoles.
