About

You write to communicate to the hearts and minds of others what’s burning inside you. And we edit to let the fire show through the smoke.
Arthur Plotnik

It all started when I won the spelling award in grade 2...

Perhaps I don’t need to go back that far, but I have had a love for words and books my whole life.

Many things happened since second grade. My love for words expanded into a love for science and research. I did my undergraduate degree in neuroscience and biology at the University of Toronto. I then worked at The Wellesley Hospital and St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto for a number of years. I then worked as a freelance writer in mostly the health and science fields. I then decided to immerse myself in the study of books. I took library studies at Memorial University as well as the publishing certificate program at Ryerson University. That is when I discovered the world of editing. Turns out editing is a lot more fun than agonizing about my own writing! And just because I love to learn, I went on do my master’s in health communication at Boston University.

Not only do I love to learn, I love to teach. The past few years I have also been teaching editing. I am or have been an instructor at Queens University and George Brown College. I also wrote the eight-week proofreading course that I teach at George Brown. I also offer online training courses in medical editing.
