Michelle Guiliano
Michelle began her indexing career by accident, during a long sabbatical from practicing medicine while raising her children. While volunteering at a book sale, she learned about indexing from a neighbor. And she has never looked back. In the years since, she has applied her in-depth science education and medical experience to indexing science and medicine trade books and textbooks. She has also become quite the generalist by indexing other far-ranging topics, from the rise (and fall) of disco to nature books and biographies of equestrians.
Today, Michelle can proudly say that she has indexed more than 135,000 pages in more than 300 books. Better yet, she has entertained her family and friends with all sorts of strange tidbits gleaned from those pages. Indexing—with its variety, flexibility, and opportunities to work with fascinating experts in a variety of fields—has proven to be the right fit for this former podiatrist.
