About Katie

Hello! I’m Katie, an instructional designer and developmental editor with a passion for creating clear, engaging, and learner-centered content. I specialize in curriculum design, developmental editing, and instructional resource development, bringing both creativity and precision to every project.

As a Developmental Editor at SEA Publishing, I refine curriculum, articles, and blog posts to ensure clarity, accuracy, and alignment with both pedagogical goals and brand voice. My work includes guiding writers with constructive feedback, improving logical flow, and enhancing accessibility for diverse audiences. I also draw on my instructional design background to transform educational objectives into structured, interactive learning experiences that engage students and support long-term retention.

With dual Bachelor of Arts degrees in History and Elementary Education, I combine strong subject-matter expertise with a deep understanding of teaching and learning processes. My experience ranges from designing homeschool curriculum and K–12 lesson plans to editing promotional materials, donor communications, and SEO-optimized content. Across all projects, I aim to balance rigor with readability, ensuring content is not only polished but also purposeful.

Whether you need a developmental editor to elevate your written content, or an instructional designer to build impactful curriculum and training materials, I bring a collaborative, detail-oriented approach to help you achieve your goals.

Let's collaborate to elevate your content!
