Available to hire
I’m a seasoned editor with over two decades of experience polishing professional health and nutrition resources for clarity, accuracy, and readability. I love turning complex, technical information into content that flows naturally and connects with its audience. My background includes everything from copyediting and proofreading to formatting web-ready materials that meet strict brand and style guidelines. Clear, consistent, and reader-friendly writing is my trademark — and I take pride in helping every project reach that level.
