I have written and edited text for diverse audiences, including students, academics, general interest readers and clients. My work has been featured in various publications, including Border Crossings, National Post, CityLab, The United Church Observer, amongst others. I have contributed essays to exhibition catalogs and have had the opportunity to work with authors and translators editing book-length projects.
Projects include:
Proofreading
I had the opportunity to work with DoppelHouse Press on Claire Phillips' memoir A Room with a Darker View: Chronicles of My Mother and Schizophrenia. It was a privilege to be one of the first readers of this powerful account of a mother-daughter relationship haunted by mental illness.
Editing Business Writing
I edited former CEO Melanie Macdonald's innovative book The CEO's Journal: A Practical Handbook for Senior Staff Leaders of Not-for-Profits. It is a creative and accessible text that seeks to guide organization leaders through the myriad challenges they may face in their roles.
Editing Academic Work
It was a pleasure working with Art Historian Alison McQueen on her article "Politics and public sculpture in nineteenth-century colonial French Algeria," which was published in Sculpture Journal.
Research and Writing
I continue to provide research, writing, and editing services to Qualicare to collaboratively develop a series of resources about ensuring elderly family members receive excellent care while living their lives to the fullest.
Editing
While working at DoppelHouse Press I edited both small and large projects including the translated manuscripts Operation Yellow Star/Black Thursday: The Roundup of July 16, 1942 and The Vél d'Hiv Raid: The French Police at the Service of the Gestapo.
Research
The recent touring exhibition A Cultivating Journey: The Herman H. Levy Legacy was accompanied by a catalogue to which Alison McQueen and I contributed the essay "Claude Monet and Gustave Caillebotte."
Research and Editing
Since 2005 I have conducted research for the scholarly work of Alison McQueen of McMaster University. I have edited both book length projects and articles about 19th century art and culture with a particular focus on the life and patronage of Empress Eugenie.
