Experience
I served as editorial assistant to the Editor in Chief of the Journal of the American Musicological Society (vol. 66, 2013), and I currently fact-check citations for the Journal of Musicology. In 2019, I completed the Introduction to Professional Academic Editing course created by Cathy Hannabach and Sarah Grey. I am a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association. I have experience editing monographs, journal articles, chapters in edited volumes, and dissertations.
