Indexer Locator

I am a professionally trained indexer with over four years of experience and a PhD in philosophy focused on ethics. I entered the world of indexing following seven years of experience in scholarly research, manuscript preparation, and academic publishing.

I am dedicated to creating accurate, accessible, and comprehensive indexes that are faithful to the complexity of the text in a timely manner. The word logos in Logos Indexing represents my philosophy of indexing, which is that there is an order to be found within the text that I seek to reflect in the index for the reader and according to the specifications of the author or publisher.

To achieve this end, I draw on my five years of experience teaching as a college professor and 14 years of experience working at a university research library to incorporate the ways in which human beings seek, identify, and retain information for the purpose of understanding.

As a result of this experience, I have both the knowledge and skills required to index the most sophisticated, nuanced, and abstract texts. My areas of specialty include philosophy, ethics, bioethics and medical humanities, intellectual history, anthropology, psychology, sociology, evolutionary biology, religion, history, humanities, medieval studies, cultural studies, gender studies, politics, biography, economics, critical theory, technology, folk lore, and cook books. I have language skills in the areas of German, French, Spanish, and Ancient Greek. Previously I have worked on projects that included large handbooks, dedicated name and subject indices, indices locorum, revising and updating indices, and works-in-progress and variable timelines for completion. I am particularly interested in projects that are challenging, extensive, or unique.
