EXPERIENCED: Editor Copy Editor Copywriter Journalist SEO/GEO WP

I have over 20 years' experience as a journalist, editor, copy editor, copywriter and proofreader. My specializations include medical/health editing, technology and aviation. I also have considerable experience with editing English as a second language (ESL) and back link SEO campaigns. I work behind the scenes in WordPress every day uploading copy as well as prepping pages for CTAs, SEO, TAGS, excerpts, heads and other modalities. Besides WordPress, I'm familiar with CoSchedule, Asana, Google Docs, Yoast SEO, Word's Track Changes, Insightly, BuzzSumo, SeaMonkey, Filezilla, HTML coding, GoToMeeting, AP style, Adobe's proofreading tools and various photo editing applications. I am also proficient with the use of AI tools like ChatGPT, but I understand their limitations and the need to humanize copy for SEO purposes and overall readability. Spanish is my second language.
