This week, I have the pleasure of interviewing… myself. I have been an editor at Content Runner since the very beginning and I couldn’t be prouder to work for such a dedicated and expanding company. Read on to learn more about… me and my insatiable thirst for knowledge, travel and Red Bull.
About Me.
My name is Nathalie and I am an editor/ blog contributor/ awesome sauce chef over here at Content Runner. I’ve been a proud resident of Seattle for more than 13 years, but I’m getting ready to start a new chapter in my life in San Francisco later this month! Don’t worry, I won’t be going over to the darkside… Go Hawks!
What made me decide to choose Content Runner?
First and foremost, I love the team. They’re a fun bunch that never get discouraged regardless how much work there is to do or how late it is. Second, I love the work and I love that the company is constantly evolving to make things more efficient and user-friendly.
What do I love about editing and writing?
I’m a bit of a perfectionist when it comes writing, so I get great deal of satisfaction from correcting my own writing and the writing of others. I love when language and rules combine to create succinct, decipherable text.
When I’m not editing content for Content Runner, what in the world am I doing?
When I’m not crossing the t’s and dotting the lower-case j’s, you can find me mountaineering in the backcountry of the PNW; running long-distance somewhere in Seattle or finding new micro-brews to sample.
How did I get into editing?
I’ve always known I wanted to go into editing and writing, so I majored in English even though everyone I talked to promised me I would be unemployable. When I found Content Runner, I found an opportunity to do the 2 things I love to do and prove all the haters wrong at the same time.
If I could go anywhere, where would I go?
This list is so long, I can only hope there’s enough time to do it all. My top 5 (in no particular order) are as follows:
1. Greece to get my marathon on.
2. New Zealand so I can zorb until I’m sick.
3. The Maldives to stalk the whale sharks.
4.Australia so I can walkabout.
5. England, France, Switzerland and Italy for my grand adventure.
If I had to eat one food for the rest of your life what would it be?
Caffeine.
If I wasn’t a professional editor, what would I be?
Professional Tree Climber / Amateur Crime Fighter
What is my biggest grammatical pet peeve?
Being not able to differentiate “They’re”, “There” and “Their”. Also, “You’re” and “Your”.
What is my favorite type of article/subject to review?
Adventure, Food and Travel.
About Nathalie MorenoBorn and raised in sunny Southern California, Nathalie migrated to the beautiful Pacific Northwest to attend the University of Washington where she majored in English and Environmental Studies. In true PNW fashion she enjoys being outdoors and copious amounts of coffee; but the SoCal side of her will always enjoy tanning on the beach and inhaling an endless amount of In-N-Out cheeseburgers.
