United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am an experienced editor with a strong focus on copyediting and a passion for child education. My journey in education has equipped me with a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of the English language. I have honed my skills through various roles, including as a paraeducator, where I assisted teachers in lesson preparation and led small group lessons, ensuring that every child received the support they needed.
Throughout my career, I have worked with diverse groups of students, including those with special needs, and have consistently sought to improve their understanding of English and literature. My experience as a copyeditor for The Lance, Evangel University’s newspaper, allowed me to refine my editing skills while also contributing to the community through timely and engaging content. I am dedicated to supporting curriculums and non-profits that prioritize children and their families, and I am eager to bring my expertise to a new role.
