Hi, I’m Terra, a Seattle-based freelance editor and healthcare administrator. I have been in the educational, nonprofit, administrative, and public health sectors for almost ten years. Editing is a powerful way for me to connect with others, and I love helping writers refine their personal stories for clarity and impact.

For me, editing is not about policing your grammar—it's about us collaborating and connecting. I believe great editing starts with me truly listening, understanding the your vision, and recognizing the courage it took for you to write about your own experiences.

I know how difficult it can be to share one's truth in a world that doesn't always make space for it. I myself had to break conventional norms to make space for my own truth as a non-binary Khmer American. But there is a liberation that can be found only in one's own written words. If you haven't found it yet, I will help you find it now.

I earned a Certificate in Editing from the University of Washington. You can verify my badge here.
