Cheryl Lemmens

English

I began working as a freelance indexer in 2001–2 after more than 20 years as a writer and editor in a variety of environments: print journalism, Hansard editing, legal publications, and website work. My interests and specialties include English literature, art and architecture, politics and history, popular culture, sports, and urban planning.

I’m a member of both the ISC/SCI and the ASI, served as ISC/SCI Webmaster from 2003-10, and was honoured to receive the ISC/SCI’s Tamarack Award in 2006. My education includes a Bachelor of Applied Arts in journalism from Ryerson Polytechnical Institute (now Ryerson University) and a Ph.D. in English from the University of Toronto; I completed the USDA Basic Indexing course in 2001.
