I have over 25 years combined experience in book indexing, television news cataloguing, newspaper website database indexing, controlled vocabulary and thesaurus development, and proofreading online content. Specialty subjects include Indigenous content (including two volumes of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report), economics, environmental studies, political science, and psychology.

I create accurate indexes which reflect the contents of the subject matter, pointing readers onto pathways to easily find the information they need. Through referrals and repeat business I have indexed projects both large and small.  The final product is delivered on time to your specifications.

Formal education: B.A.(Sociology), B.Ed. (Elementary Education and School Librarianship),  Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL 1 and 2), and  Indexing for Books, Journals, and Reports (Ryerson)
