​

I received my BA from the University of California, Berkeley after developing and defending the interdisciplinary title “Health, Technology and Modernity,” a blend of anthropology, public health, and rhetoric. 

 

I minored in Luso-Brazilian Studies, studied in Brazil, and spent a Spring aboard Semester at Sea.

​

After Berkeley, I backpacked with my film camera across the United States and multiple continents.

 

In 2016, I co-founded, built, and acted as COO for a vegetable and flower farm in Northern California. As I cultivated our farm, I fell in love with telling its story. ​

​

Since then, I've collaborated on over a hundred projects with businesses, authors, and artists.

 

My editorial portfolio includes more than 45 books, 300 articles, and dozens of educational courses, handbooks, and websites.​

My affinity for music-making, photography, and videography has taught me to record, edit, organize, and archive complex projects while seamlessly transitioning between hardware, software, and technical programs.

 

This spring, I'll complete my master's in Journalism and Media Innovation from Emerson College. I'm honored to be a member of their Transformational Leaders Graduate Fellowship.  ​​ 

 

I've gravitated toward book editing because nothing fills me with joy like reading a good book. As a kid, I devoured them—on weekends, my mom had to check on me because I wouldn't leave my room until the afternoon. (Busy reading.) 

 

I actively attend editing and writing workshops, and received the Intermediate Certificate from ACES: the Society for Editing.​

​

I'm a member of professional associations like ACES: The Society for Editing; NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists; and Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE).

TESTIMONIALS​

Deep Linguistic Understanding and Cultural Sensitivity 

"I've had the pleasure of working with Terra, an outstanding editor who excels in every task we collaborate on. Terra's attention to detail is unparalleled, and her ability to work independently while consistently meeting deadlines without reminders is invaluable. What sets Terra apart is her exceptional work with texts written by non-native speakers, which demand not only a sharp eye for mistakes but also a deep linguistic understanding and cultural sensitivity. This is a rare skill!"

IRYNA BATUREVYCH, Co-founder of Chytomo
