I write accurate, detailed, and thoughtfully structured indexes that enable readers to search and explore the author’s message. I index a wide variety of trade and scholarly books in the humanities and social sciences, with a special interest in Asian studies, religious studies, Indigenous studies, history, and health and medicine for a lay audience. I also index policies and contracts.

In 2014, I won the inaugural Purple Pen Award for best new indexer, for my index for the book Strange Visitors: Documents in the History of Indigenous and Settler Relations in Canada from 1876, edited by Keith D. Smith (University of Toronto Press, 2014). I have so far indexed over 150 books, and I look forward to indexing many more.
