Introduction |
I’m an indexer, editor, and designer specializing in scholarly and non-fiction publishing. I hold a PhD from UC Berkeley (musicology), an Editing Certificate from Queen’s University, and have substantial training in indexing and design through both university coursework and mentorships. I am also the Executive Director of the Canadian Association of Learned Journals, as well as the Managing Editor for the bilingual Canadian Development Studies Journal and Intersections: Canadian Journal of Music; I also serve on the Board of the Indexing Society of Canada.
I aim to practice trauma-informed editing, indexing, and design and to mobilize conscious style and design justice principles—which means that I listen to your needs, work collaboratively on effective modifications, provide transparency about processes and input, and think critically about how your piece can activate language and layout that empowers.
