Because I worked with the Atavist, I am familiar with certain government archives, including recently declassified ones (CIA/State Dept in particular). I consider this specialized knowledge. I am also qualified to fact check very long form (book length) pieces, if the project is the right fit.

I have completed two of the four classes in the Professional Sequence in Editing at UC Berkeley Extension and expect to finish my coursework in 2021. In addition, I have twenty years of experience in primary and secondary marketing research. I would be happy to provide a small sample of my work upon request.

I'm a freelance editor, researcher, and copyright consultant, all of which require me to check facts regularly and rigorously in the course of my work. My educational background, as well as my in-house experience in educational publishing and healthcare PR, have given me particular skill and domain knowledge in checking linguistic, medical, and general humanities content. As a freelancer, I've been able to expand that breadth of research into many other subject areas, to my clients' benefit.

Additional Notes
Much of my fact-checking work has been in education, children's and student nonfiction, and news, so my experience may be a bit more nuanced than the categories listed here. The year 2015 is my current best estimate as to when I started doing fact-checking as a freelancer as a separate role from copy editing, to distinguish it from the fact-checking that is a routine part of the editorial work I've done for two decades.

Additional Notes
I'm an extremely experienced reporter-researcher and fact-checker, with a background that truly runs the gamut. I've worked on everything from health and science to historical analysis to business enterprise pieces. I was the Wall Street Journal's 2022 Trust fellow, focusing on disability and health, and have continued to report on the topic. I have myriad references and am happy to discuss rates.

Additional Notes
I work full-time as a mental health reporter in Seattle and have extensive experience fact-checking long-form journalism and popular science books. I understand the importance of fact-checking and am meticulous in my own work as a journalist. I bring this same spirit to my work with book authors and other media publications, where I've specialized in fact-checking complex stories focused on biomedical science, conservation and ecology and psychiatry.
