Ashley A.

Hello! I'm Ashley! I’ve always loved reading, learning, creating, and teaching. In 2017, I stepped away from my secondary English/ESOL classroom and into full-time editing after 11 years of proofreading on a part-time basis. With more than 13 years of professional experience, I'm here to guide clients through the strange world of the English language and our lovely system[s] of writing (and formatting).

I love reading and working on academic content (dissertations, theses, personal statements, etc.). When I'm not editing papers or journal articles in the cognitive sciences or education fields, I can be found diving in on technical copy and nonfiction. I love highly technical work! Fun fact: I *enjoy* writing and editing SOPs and manuals.

I have bachelor's degrees in English, sociology, and psychology. My master's degree is in curriculum and instruction. I am also working towards a doctorate in education and have taken many classes in statistics, research, and data analysis. My favorite subjects to study include the mind-brain sciences, sociology, humanist philosophy, and linguistics.

Does spare time actually exist? I'm kidding! I enjoy playing with my kids and being silly. We ride bikes, walk, take trips to the park, and play in the pool. I also row every morning on my Concept2. I love reading psychological thrillers to escape from reality. Sometimes I find the time to crochet or write, as well. But, let's be real here: words and language are always on my mind! I am a lifelong learner and my academic pursuits will never quite be complete.
