Editor and Proofreader: Academic, social sciences and humanities

I have an Editing Certificate from Simon Fraser University, Vancouver. I also have degrees in the social sciences and humanities (B.A. Canadian Studies/History and Sociology, Trent University; research M.A. Sociology, Carleton University). I started my career working in health care as a physiotherapist but then returned to an academic setting in the social sciences and humanities where I developed my critical thinking, research, and writing skills. I am skilled at working on complex issues yet writing them in organized, accessible ways, always keeping the reader in mind. My master's thesis in sociology highlights these accomplishments. I drew on a wide-ranging review of the literature in the history of science and medicine, anthropology, philosophy, sociology, and linguistics to examine how the power dynamics between patients and their physicians are accomplished in medical interviews. More recently, as a caregiver to an elderly parent, I have used my research and writing skills to advocate for the elderly in the health care system, as well as with the auto insurance industry. I have a passion for writing, research, and learning with a particular interest in health issues. I am interested in editing and proofreading of articles, blogs or academic work with a focus on social justice, health, or the environment.
