I consider Dana to be my official copyeditor for all my writing, which includes scriptwriting, grant writing, web page presentations, descriptions for exhibited artworks, even film credit formatting. Most recently, Dana worked on an edited volume of essays involving 25 authors, How to Respond in a Pandemic: 25 Ideas from 25 Disciplines of Study. Dana’s copyediting established a coherence to the many voices, and her attention to detail was essential for ensuring that footnotes and references met professional standards. Writing is difficult, and readers are impatient when things are not clear. Everyone needs careful eyes as keen as Dana’s to assess their writing and make it better.

I've worked as a scientist, educator, and editor and writer in my jumbled professional life--and have loved every minute of it. I continue to discover the surprising ways two or more of these fields converge in my work and always seek out new opportunities. I'm a natural learner, teacher, thinker, organizer, wordsmith, storyteller, thought partner, and copy polisher. If you're looking for someone who's sharp, dependable, and empathetic, contact me. I'd love to talk with you about your project.
