Experience Counts
As an indexer, I trained with the University of Chicago Graham School of Continuing Studies, receiving a two-year certificate in the editing program. I am certified by the Institute of Certified Indexers as a highly qualified indexer.
As a taxonomist, I gained experience as an information architect with Argus Associates, learning from two of the founders of the IA field: Louis Rosenfeld and Peter Morville.
I have edited, co-edited, and co-authored dozens of articles and books in the fields of indexing and controlled vocabularies (taxonomies). I regularly present at local and national indexing conferences on such topics as index structure and taxonomy methodologies.
As a member of the American Society for Indexing since 1996, I have served both as a member of the board of directors, and as president (two terms).
