Work experience
December 2009–current Freelance editor, proofreader, and writer
I work with a range of clients to produce high-quality publications, online material, and exhibition collateral. Over the last 16 years, I have copyedited over 140 publications on art, as well as accompanying didactics, promotional material and online content. I work closely with curators, writers, artists and designers to deliver these outcomes, liaising with them at every stage of the project. In my work as an academic editor, I have edited over 300 postgraduate dissertations by students enrolled in many different universities across Australia. As a writer, I have been commissioned by several galleries and the State Library of Queensland to write copy for exhibitions catalogues and online material, and have had numerous art exhibition reviews published in reputable journals.

I assisted over 400 postgraduate students with their writing through the free editing service offered by GUPSA. Editing included marking up assignments, thesis chapters, conference papers, etc., in track changes. I also delivered many online workshops in Teams and in person, providing information on writing, editing, punctuation, grammar, and referencing to the students
