I’m a professional indexer with 12 years of experience. I am a PhD candidate with a MA in history, and (in a past life) I was a researcher. This background makes me fluent in handling texts in the humanities and social sciences. History, political science, international relations, religion and theology, and gender studies are my areas of expertise.

If I don’t reply right away, I’m probably away (still) trying to learn how to surf.

I’m an experienced indexer with 7 years in the craft. I’ve completed an Extension Course at the University of California Berkeley: Indexing Theory and Application. Because of my background in biology, I specialize in health and medical indexing, or anything to do with cardiology, pharmacology, psychiatry, and biology.

Bruce Springsteen is my go-to work playlist.

I am at the beginning of my Ph.D. studies. I began freelance indexing in 2016 and have been full-time since 2019 (with IndexBusters since 2020). Consider myself a true master of embedded indexing for InDesign, Word documents, or even LATEX indexing with makeidx.

At IndexBusters I am also working on admin and marketing tasks. I am usually the one who communicates with clients, so you might hear from me!
