What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated copy editor and proofreader with extensive experience in the publishing industry.

My journey began as a Humanities Editor at Editions Africa, where I developed a keen eye for detail and a passion for storytelling.
In addition to my editorial roles, I have engaged in various freelance projects, including my current position as a Freelance English Scripting Editor with Deluxe Media Entertainment.
