I’m an American copy editor based in Sofia, Bulgaria, with a strong academic background and over 15 years of editorial experience. My work with such organizations as 365 Data Science, Kendy Pharma, and Internet Securities has honed my ability to make complex information clear and engaging for professional audiences. Before specializing in editing, I taught English, literature, and philosophy at several institutions, including the American English Academy and British Council Sofia.
Before specializing in editing, I taught English, literature, philosophy, and sociology to students from secondary to university level. Roles at the American English Academy, International House Sofia, and City University of Seattle (Pravetz) refined my understanding of tone, structure, and clarity—skills that directly enhance my editorial work.
I have collaborated with Sofia University’s Department of Korean Studies (Dr. Soyoung Kim) on multiple academic works, including Korea in the Bulgarian Archives, 1945–95, Trends and Developments of Education and Research in Korean Studies in Bulgaria, Bulgarian Archival Legislation During the Cold War, and The ‘Living Tones’ of Kim Jin‑hi—the Traditional Komungo’s New Life. In literary editing, I edited INTERFACES: A psy‑fi thriller about the future of the mind (Kindle edition) — by P. Anilak (Author), Stefka Dimitrova (Illustrator), edited by David Hawthorne.
I edit and proofread both British and American English (BrE/AmE) to your preferred standard, and I also provide human proofreading and editing for AI‑generated text.
