United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated professional with a Bachelor’s degree in Hispanic Studies from the University of Birmingham and over seven years of experience in proofreading and editing academic documents. My work primarily focuses on assisting non-native English speakers, ensuring their submissions meet the rigorous standards of universities, Q1 journals, and academic conferences. I take pride in my ability to elevate the quality of academic writing, helping clients articulate their ideas clearly and effectively.
In addition to my editing work, I am a content creator with a vibrant social media presence, where I share vegan recipes in Spanish.
