Cat Jensen

Managing Editor
- I have worked in Taiwan for seven years, with four of those as a writer and editor producing ESL learning content involving a variety of local and international subjects. My work in this regard covers Taiwanese culture, society, politics, travel, history, and more. - I am a proficient writer and proofreader with the ability to create polished, professional content in a number of genres. These include blogging, technical writing, academic writing, copywriting, and creative or expressive writing. - As an expat living in Taiwan, I have strong intercultural experience that stands as a benefit to my work and interpersonal relationships. I have also served as part of highly communicative and collaborative team environments during my tenure as an editor.
