Who We Are

Prof-Edit is owned and operated by Teresa Nolan Barensfeld, who has been an editorial professional since 1991. She also calls upon a team of highly skilled and experienced professionals for her proofreading service, as well as for assistance on large copyediting projects.

BIOGRAPHY
Teresa Barensfeld has a BS in mathematics and computer science, summa cum laude. When she began copyediting and proofreading in 1991, Teresa specialized first in her college-major fields, then expanded into various subjects, especially STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics), the social sciences, education, and political science. She loves editing because she learns something new every day and gets paid to correct other people’s mistakes. Before her editing career, she worked as a computer programmer for Morgan Stanley & Company, a business manager for BCR (a woodworking company), a designer/sewist, and a tax preparer.

In her spare time, Teresa enjoys using her sewing and design skills to create quilts, apparel, and other textile arts; she is a member of the Board of the Chatham Public Library; and she heads up Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF every year with the fifth graders at Chatham Middle school.

EDUCATION 
Cornell University, Pace University
Bachelor of Science, summa cum laude

ACTIVITIES
Teresa is a long-time member of the Editorial Freelancers Association and is a volunteer for the Upper Hudson Valley, NY, chapter. In the past, she has served as a member-at-large on the EFA Board of Trustees.
