The Japanese maples outside of my office’s picture window finally leafed out. It must really be spring now!

Before I get swept away in milder weather and late April deadlines, I wanted to reflect on my winter projects. These kept me busy and challenged from January through March this year:

• Writing articles on health and lifestyle for Healthline
• Copyediting several journal issues for University of Illinois Press
• Copyediting a book on race in America
• Editing and formatting chapters for a nursing textbook
• Editing a dissertation for a doctoral candidate in social work at Temple University
• Proofreading a book on religion
• Editing a resume and cover letter for a teacher searching for jobs abroad
• Writing biographies for two professionals to use in their marketing materials
• Collaborating with Nicole Pica of Reinvent U with resumes and LinkedIn profiles

I am lucky to have a job that allows me to work in so many subject areas. There is so much to learn out in the world.
