My Story

I started WordPunc to induldge my fingers, which get a little anxious if they're away from a keyboard for too long. I'm a West Coast transplant from the Eastern US, and before settling in San Diego I lived in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington DC (Northern Virginia too, but that's practically DC). And yes, San Diego is as great as everyone says. I spent my early working years in restaurants (which I still spend a lot of time in, but eating, not working) and my more recent professional years as a cognitive neuroscientist (PhD in neuroscience). I've always been fond of words and languages, as both a consumer and a producer. I feel lucky and honored that clients trust me to read and tinker with their words before they send them out into the wild.

Thank you for your business,
Jill
