Administrative Support Assistant

I've had a variety of career experiences, including education, administrative/clerical support, copyediting, customer service, and financial services. 

I'm currently an Administrative Assistant in Planning & Development for local municipal government. I'm also a freelance copyeditor/proofreader and have copyedited and proofread graphic novels and YA novels for indie authors and publishers. When I'm not doing either of those, I love finding and sharing relevant Canadian EdTech information and jobs. 

My passions include enjoying time with my family, crafting, photography, writing, reading, watching Doctor Who, and listening to The Strokes.
