I’m a certified copy editor and proofreader specializing in poetry, literary nonfiction, and Jewish texts. I work with both publishers and independent authors.

I began my editing career working with the Transcending Trauma Project, a large qualitative research project based on interviews with Holocaust survivors, their children, and grandchildren. I worked with TTP as editor, proofreader, transcriptionist, analyst, and researcher.

I hold a copyediting certificate from the University of California, San Diego; an MFA in creative writing (poetry) from Colorado State University; and a BA in English from the University of Exeter in England, where I received the Gamini Salgado Prize “for the undergraduate dissertation that best communicates the qualities of imagination and intellectual flair.”

I’m the author of two books of poetry, Aleph and Like an Olive, both published by Verge Books. My next book, Overleaf, is forthcoming from the same press.

I grew up in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, and now live by the Salish Sea with my husband Rico and our delightful cat Fennel.
