Hi. My name is Kari.

I am a freelance copyeditor and proofreader with more than a decade of experience in communications and marketing, a professional certificate in editing from the University of Chicago, and an MBA.

I help businesses, nonprofits, and individuals deliver engaging, accessible, error-free writing.  I also edit behavioral science journal articles and other types of nonfiction works.

And my professional background

My professional journey has taken me through diverse industries, from providing customer service training to casino employees in Detroit to assisting production teams with process improvements at a semiconductor fab in Ottawa, and supporting retail business operations in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. These experiences have shaped my adaptability and problem-solving skills.

Today, I thrive as the Director of Communications and Marketing at an independent school in suburban Detroit. In this role, I manage a wide range of internal and external communications, including newsletters, social media, crisis communications, the school website, advertising, and video production. Additionally, I oversee school publications and serve as the publisher of the school’s community magazine, ensuring content aligns with the institution's mission while engaging its diverse community.

And, now, I lead the editing dept.
