A new Seattleite, I'm putting down roots. I capitalize, format, suggest, spell check, query, underline, revise, and punctuate, all in order to get your copy to say everything it should and nothing it shouldn't. I listen to the goals of the project and keep those in mind as I work, and I work as part of your team to give your words a voice and make them a pleasure to read.

I think reflectively, read fiendishly, and contribute creatively, usually powered by a latte or even a good old cup of drip coffee. I also have a habit of reading with a pen in hand.

Simply put, I need experience. I've got the resources, the know-how, the determination, and a work ethic that won't quit. So how about it?
