I have worked as a full-time freelance editor since 2009. My strongest skills and passion are in copyediting, line editing, and proofreading. I've worked in various subject areas and genres, with most of my editing projects in recent years with Augsburg Fortress Publishers, the publishing house of the largest Lutheran church body in the US.

I hold a master of divinity (MDiv) degree from Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago (LSTC), and served for 14 years as a parish pastor. If your writing has to do with faith, theology, Bible, and/or church, my professional experience in those areas offers you value not commonly found in a copyeditor.
