I started out as an associate editor for Paperbound Books in Print, and then a project editor for Books In Print, at the R. R. Bowker company in New York City. Then I moved on to become manager of the production division of Engineering Information, Inc. (also in New York City) which included supervision of the proofreading, copy editing, data entry, technical specifications, and computer services staff. After leaving New York for Los Angeles, I took a position as supervisor of proofreading and technical specifications at Graphic Typesetting, Inc., followed by a job as an indexer, manuscript editor and research staff supervisor for JRP Media, Inc. (a packager of reference and trade books). My next professional job was supervisor of the proofreading, copy editing and print quality control staff at Bridge Publications, Inc. in Los Angeles. It was at that point that I decided to go freelance as a copy editor, proofreader, indexer, and researcher for publishers, agents and authors. Through a publisher contact, I contracted to write five volumes in the Career Opportunities series published by Ferguson Publishing (in New York City). My titles included Career Opportunities in Writing (2006), Career Opportunities in Television and Cable (2007), Career Opportunities in the Internet, Video Games, and Multimedia (2007), Career Opportunities in the Energy Industry (2008), and Career Opportunities in Library and Information Science (2009). My impetus for these books was to learn more about internet research facilities and possibilities and to organize and provide information found in multiple sources into one easy-to-use information source for both high school and college students and general readers looking for job information.

I consider as one of my major professional achievements the publication of the five volumes indicated above and on my website
