As a passionate and driven professional, I am always looking for ways to enhance my techniques, broaden my knowledge, and find new opportunities to grow. I have been able to use my talents to create impactful and powerful outcomes since the start of my career. I am proud of the work I do and the strong relationships I have built with my teams. I believe in hard work, good collaboration, and having fun along the way.
      This portfolio reflects how my editing confidence has grown throughout my education at the University of Texas at Austin for my Bachelor of Arts in Rhetoric and Writing, as well as at Texas Tech University for my Master of Arts in Technical Communication. During this time, I learned new editing styles, collected editing resources, and refined my design strategies. This portfolio will also exemplify the work I've already accomplished via my current work positions as a developmental and acquisitions editor at Inklings Publishing, a technical editor at the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER), and as part of the board for the Houston Writer's Guild (HWG) as the communications director, by listing the books in which I was the primary or one of the primary editors.
