Introduction: I am a clinical and forensic psychologist; however, I have an extensive amount of editing experience spanning 24 years. At age 12, I became a weekly writer for The Long Beach Press Telegram, a newspaper in California with a current daily circulation of 75,000. I worked as a contributor for four years and then became a features and entertainment editor for Chapman University's student newspaper for four years. (My undergrad degree is English with an emphasis in Journalism). I edited for Teen magazine and All About You in 1999. Since that time, I have edited over 50 dissertations and countless court documents, reports, assessments, and am the editor for death penalty mitigation reports for the state of Oregon. I have also been a university writing tutor.
