Delivering Excellence in Communication Services
When you see a cardinal swoop from a high tree branch, is it an eye-catching, stunning red bird with a keen black eye? Most likely.
What you often don't notice is the mama cardinal: she is always nearby, blending into the natural background.
At Mama Cardinal, my goal is to work behind the scenes to make your project shine and catch the attention of your audience. Rates are competitive and can be flexible: by hour, by word, by page, or simply a flat fee.
Reach out today for more information and to discuss your specific needs.
I look forward to hearing from you,

About
During more than two decades teaching Spanish and living at independent schools in New England, I have developed a keen eye for detail and a love for grammar. I earned an M.Ed. in Teaching and Learning at Harvard University Graduate School of Education and a B.A. in Spanish at Amherst College. It is a sincere joy and a welcome challenge to support a variety of schools, businesses, and even individuals, as they create, polish, and publish both online and print materials.
When proofreading, I am happy to use your organization's style guide if there is one. Otherwise, I utilize the Associated Press Stylebook. Most importantly, I identify the tone of your work after collaborating with you and maintain consistency throughout. My flexible schedule accommodates long-term projects, short-term posts, as well as 12- and 24-hour turnarounds, depending on availability.
