Hi, I’m Terra, a Seattle-based freelance editor, book coach, and healthcare administrator. I have been in the educational, nonprofit, administrative, and public health sectors for almost ten years. Editing and book coaching are powerful ways for me to connect with others, and I love helping writers refine their personal stories for clarity and impact.

For me, editing and book coaching are not about policing your grammar or how you write—it's about us collaborating and connecting. I believe great coaching and editing start with me truly listening, understanding the your vision, and recognizing the courage it took for you to write about your own experiences.

I know how difficult it can be to share one's truth in a world that doesn't always make space for it. I myself had to break conventional norms to make space for my own truth as a non-binary Khmer American. But there is a liberation that can be found only in one's own written words. If you haven't found it yet, I will help you find it now.

I earned a Certificate in Editing from the University of Washington. You can verify my badge here.
