Nice to meet you, Jessie! :)
I was wondering... I'm hoping to work for a Christian publishing company after I graduate from college. (I'll be graduating with a B.S. in English next spring.) What is your highest level of education and how did you get your copy editing certificate?
Thank you!

It's so nice to meet you. I'm really enjoying these introductions and getting to put faces and personalities to the names. :)
Thanks for sharing your interview, Jessie. I was also wondering the same thing--where/how you got your copy editing certificate? How wonderful that you can use it at Barbour!
Nice to meet you Jessie!
Hi all,
Thanks for your comments and questions! I took an indirect route to working here at Barbour. I actually have a BS in neuroscience and completed a year of medical school before deciding that I wanted to pursue something different. I received my copyediting certificate online from UC San Diego. Their program is very helpful and convenient as it's all online.
Jessie,
Thank you for the information about the editing program. I've heard of that program once before, so it's nice to hear of someone else who has also taken it and can vouch for it.
Thanks!
So great to meet you, Jessie! Thank you for all your hard work on our behalf!!
