The attached portfolio includes work from my digital design class at BYU. Included in it are designs for a business card and logo, a flyer, and a book.

Published article in a linguistics journal.

This was researched and written to be included as one of five chapters I contributed to the published book "50 Relics of the Restoration" by Casey Paul Griffiths and Mary Jane Woodger.

I worked on this article as lead author during my master's program. It was recently accepted to be published in the Interpreter journal.

The following speech was given in an informal graduation ceremony during COVID.

Poetry has always been a hobby of mine and has awarded me publication in two anthologies. The attached document includes a small sampling of my favorite five.

The following chapter is written in memory of Beverly Campbell and her work as a diplomat for the Church. I wrote the chapter when working for a professor in the Religion department. She provided a majority of the documents, books, and interview transcripts. All the writing and synthesis is mine. I cut out pages 308-310 to shorten the excerpt.

This article was written for the Ensign during my internship in 2019.

I self-published this book in December of 2021 and have since sold 50 copies. It is an autobiographical memoir of my experiences as a Lesbian Latter-day Saint.

I was asked by Dr. Howell to edit this article before he submitted it for publication. He wanted mostly copy edits, although I did rearrange the order of one section to match the order listed earlier of the topics to be covered.

This paper is one that I edited as part of my job as a writing fellow. I routinely met with students and edited their student teaching portfolios. This particular paper was written by a student that seldom met with me and so I tried to provide explanations in my comments and teach simple grammar principles. I had been given sample portfolios to compare with and read through them so that I could note areas that needed to be lengthened or changed to conform to the examples.

This is one of many papers that I edited for a friend. When editing for friends, especially, I try to explain in the comments my reasoning behind the edits I suggest as well as any underlying grammar principles. Editing for friends has provided me with an interesting scenario in which I have to walk the line between providing too many edits and not enough to really make the paper better. On top of that, because many of these papers will be turned in for a grade, I try to make my edits full of teaching moments. Editing for friends also opens up a dialogue with the author, which I thoroughly enjoy.

This article was to be a chapter in a book on the beatitudes that I edited for a religion professor at BYU. She had made a audio file of all her notes and the stories she wanted to include, which I transcribed and edited. The article was then over 20 pages long and she wanted it down to 10-15 pages. In the first round of edits I took it down to 16, and then in the second round of edits (those included in this file) I took it down to 13 pages. I also added all the headings and organized the material accordingly to match the style of the other chapters. Likewise, I organized the final material into more cohesive steps to conform to the style of the other chapters. Included in this file are the clean document after my first round of edits, my edits for the second round, and the final version of the chapter.

The following document is my edited transcription of the wife of a World War Two veteran reminiscing on her early years of courtship and marriage. I recognize that this piece, coming from a spoken medium, required much more edits than are usually necessary. It highlights my attention to detail and also my ability to standardize a particular voice and style, making it an easier read while not entirely jeopardizing its unique voice. The attached document includes the original file with track changes, followed by a document with the changes incorporated, and then a final draft with some additional edits.
