Hi, my name is Kat, and I am a TEFL-certified editor and coordinator with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. I am in my thirties, happily married, and care for two maniacal fiends - I mean - adorable housecats. I am a US citizen and Maryland resident, who just wrapped up six months of travelling internationally with my little family. We visited Mexico and Uruguay for three months each, where we practiced aikido, drank yerba mate, learned more Spanish, and swam in the world's second largest barrier reef in Puerto Morelos, MX.

My professional story is a bit more domestic (but only a bit!). I have a breadth of experience in a few different industries, providing editing, coordination, copywriting, marketing, and facilitation services. My work experience has allowed me to hone my skills in copyediting, copywriting, and compliance evaluation. I've functioned as the go-to person for performing the "final check", fact checking, or just reading through material to make sure it's coherent. In fact, I got my TEFL-certification in July 2025 to encounter the English language, grammar, and usage in a new way, as if seeing it for the first time.

I am fascinated by language, logic, and communication, interests that make me an avid reader, writer, list-maker, record-keeper, and researcher. As an editor, my focus is on clear communication and ensuring that the author's voice and ultimate message shine through in each sentence and every word. I believe that language is powerful, and that the writer, editor, and reader are continually working in dialogue to uncover truth, beauty, and all things that make live worth living.

Am I waxing poetic? Most definitely.

If you find yourself figuratively (or literally!) nodding along in agreement with me at this point, please continue exploring the rest of my website for my portfolio, CV, highlighted skills, an inexplicable Q&A section, and fun photo breaks. :)
