About Angela
I am a Certified Professional Coach who is passionate about helping people communicate their great ideas clearly and coherently. I have been editing technical manuals, theses, dissertations, and books for many years. I have a Master’s in English and taught university writing courses for 6 years online and on campus. Prior to that, I worked in IT analyzing software and writing a variety of technical documents. My experience also includes marketing and internal communications.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading (saw that coming, didn’t you), writing (and that too), traveling, cooking, and spending time with family and friends. I live in the sunny Southwest with my spouse and our dog, Pedro, who is a 12-pound Chihuahua-Min Pin mix.
“Angela did a fantastic job editing my masters thesis. As someone who didn’t have knowledge of the topic, she asked great questions during the process, which helped to make my thesis more accessible to my target audience. I recommend her as someone who is detail oriented and critically reads the work she is presented for editing.“
