What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an accuracy-driven role where I can proofread and edit high-volume documents, protect grammar, tone, and formatting, and ensure content consistency and compliance while meeting tight deadlines.

I’m a detail-oriented proofreader and editorial professional with 10+ years reviewing, editing, and validating written content in fast-paced, accuracy-driven environments. I bring a strong command of grammar, punctuation, tone, and formatting, with a proven ability to catch errors and maintain consistent quality across high volumes.

My recruiting background strengthens how I work—I’m known for confidentiality, careful document handling, and steady deadline management. That combination helps me ensure content is clear, accurate, compliant, and ready for the right audience.

In recent senior roles in talent acquisition, I reviewed and edited job descriptions, internal postings, and candidate-facing communications for clarity, tone, and accuracy. I also proofread resumes, offer letters, interview documentation, and internal reports, identifying inconsistencies and correcting them before distribution to reduce downstream revisions.

Earlier staffing and recruiting positions strengthened my consistency across multiple document types and systems. I use Microsoft Office and Google Docs, along with Applicant Tracking Systems and SharePoint, to support reliable version control and content validation.
