What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values precision in language and offers opportunities for growth in content strategy and editing.

I am a precision-focused Linguistic Editor and Content Specialist with over four years of experience in refining high-volume text for clarity, grammar, and stylistic consistency. My expertise in English at a C2 level allows me to adapt content across both technical and creative domains effectively. I have a strong background in implementing complex style guidelines and optimizing text for diverse audiences and platforms.

In my current role as a Freelance Language Editor, I edit and enhance over 50 documents monthly, including articles, technical manuals, and marketing copy, ensuring they meet publisher and client specifications. My previous experience as a Content Editor at Carolina Tech Review involved editing more than 30 technical articles per issue for readability and compliance with AP Style. I also developed a house style guide and trained contributors in clear technical communication, showcasing my ability to lead and educate others in the field.
