About

I’m an editor and writer who believes in the power of clear language, honest critique, and knowing when to cut the second paragraph. I work with women and bilingual writers who are ready to get serious about their stories—no fluff, no velvet gloves.

I’ve been editing for over 13 years—first informally, then academically, and now professionally. I have a BA in Sociology, an MA in Digital Journalism & Design, and completed all but the thesis portion of an MFA in Creative Nonfiction and Publishing before life demanded otherwise. I earned every degree after turning 60, because I believe in showing up strong—even if others think it’s too late—and doing the hard work, because it matters.

In 2024, I lost everything I owned to Hurricane Helene. Our home filled with eight feet of water. The only things I walked out with were my Yorkie, Kiki Pi, and my perspective—and the drive to keep going. That same focus, resilience, and clarity defines how I edit. I care about my clients’ work the same way I care about my own: deeply, urgently, and without wasting time.
