Hi, I’m Samantha Mueller, an writer and editor with a passion for language, writing, and cross-cultural communication. I earned my BA in English from Lewis & Clark College, graduating magna cum laude, and recently completed a Copyediting Certificate at UC San Diego. I’ve spent the past few years teaching in Japan and supporting editorial teams through writing, editing, and content development. I thrive in collaborative environments where ideas become clear, engaging writing. My experience ranges from classroom instruction and test prep to editorial internships and tutoring. I’m excited to bring strong editing instincts, research skills, and a love of language to a role in editing, content creation, or writing.
