Journalism

Articles & Web Content

With a soaring voice that ranges from rapturous to acerbic, I attack new projects with an adaptable process that offers clients up to two preview drafts before a final submission. This way, clients can assess the tone, style, and focus of their new content before it’s published.

I offer a sliding scale between $27-$34/hour negotiated by project, with sub-services including:

Competitor and prospect research
Integrated survey crafting
Marketing insights
Editing existing copy
Content consultations

Tutoring

Essay coaching & public speaking

Having trouble crafting powerful, persuasive arguments? I take great pride in helping students of all ages find their natural voice within academic parameters. While teachers and professors may wish to assist each student individually, they often don’t have the time or resources a personal tutor can provide.

An Honours graduate of University of Toronto in English and an alumnus of the National Ballet of Canada’s Emerging Dance Critics program, I offer both academic acumen and encouraging enthusiasm. While I can spot weak sentence structure from space, I see it as an opportunity to strengthen communication both on and off the page. Once you can make your point with a pen, I guarantee that confidence will follow you into daily interactions.

If you, or your child, finds it challenging to express your ideas or to connect with assigned subject matter, I provide a judgement-free environment where you set the pace to spark the Roman orator within!

Rates begin at $35.00/hour
Available for regular, ongoing coaching within your semester or for individual writing/speaking projects
For additional fee, I will read the assigned text to provide more targeted feedback on written work

Editing

Proofreading & copyeditIng

My red pen drools when a friend asks me to look over their latest cover letter, but I’ll do far more than annotate and add apostrophes. I have a hawkish eye for any opportunity to strengthen syntax, massage metaphors, or clean up clauses. I’ll also help you identify things that Grammerly can’t— are you burying the lead? Leading with your conclusion? I think every phrase should be working overtime to help you make your point, and can offer an in-depth consultation to distill your strongest work.

Simple proofreading starts at $19/1,000 words
Structural editing consultations for $35/hour

Transcription

Narration

Audiobooks & recording for the hearing-impaired

Trained at University College Drama under vocal teacher Cindy Block, I have crisp, sonorous diction and unfaltering pronunciation of even the most esoteric terms. My idiolect adapts naturally to the tone of any text I’m tasked to read aloud; I can speak with clerical confidence while narrating professional documents or instructions, while devising character voices when performing fiction.

Rates begin at $19/200 words
