Welcome! I'm a Classicist by training, with a PhD from Princeton University and an MA and BA from Dalhousie University. I've been editing and proofreading academic and trade manuscripts for more than a decade, and I'm a trained back-of-the-book indexer. I enjoy working with authors to make their writing clear, error-free, and persuasive, and I love the challenge of creating an index that leads your reader to exactly what they want to find in your book.
My background is in Classics, which is a multidisciplinary field; as an academic, I have worked extensively in philosophy, religion, history, mythology, and poetry. Beyond my academic expertise, I’m a voracious reader in many subjects, from fungi to politics, marine biology to knitting. Some of my favourite topics are environmentalism, natural history, activism, cooking, and fibre arts of all kinds.
When I’m not indexing, editing, or reading, I can be found hiking with my kids in the beautiful forests of British Columbia, feeding my sourdough starter, quilting, or planting native species in my local park, where I work as a streamkeeper.
