My educational and employment experiences have prepared me to index a wide range of topics including wellness, self-help, counseling, popular psychology, and other scholarly and trade books. My background in Library Science means that I am intimately familiar with the strategies readers use to access information. I am prepared to build indexes to meet readers' needs.
In addition to my above education, I have worked in higher education for over 10 years, which has prepared me to effectively index textbooks and understand the needs of undergraduate students.
When I am not busy indexing, I love spending time outdoors with my family and my dog, Rosie. You may also find me curled up with a good book and a cup of tea.
