What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a proofreading/copy editing role where I can own content QA and fact-checking, enforce brand/style and compliance, and keep turnaround fast—while partnering closely with editors and creative teams to deliver error-free work.

I’m a detail-driven proofreader and editorial professional with 10+ years of experience across marketing, legal, and digital content environments. I specialize in proofreading and copy editing, content QA, editorial quality control, and fact-checking to ensure accuracy, clarity, and compliance.

In my current contract work, I proofread and review financial reports, audit documents, tax materials, and client deliverables for accuracy, formatting, compliance, and brand/style alignment before submission. I’ve decreased production errors by up to 30% for 40+ deliverables each month and improved turnaround by 20% during peak audit season through streamlined workflows and proactive coordination.

At a creative design agency, I edited a wide range of digital and marketing assets—including social posts, emails, websites, video scripts, on-screen text, PDFs, and promotional materials. I improved content accuracy and quality by catching grammar, spelling, and brand inconsistencies early, reducing errors by up to 60% before publication, while enforcing approved layouts and style standards to maintain 100% brand consistency.

I also bring a quality-first mindset from healthcare and high-volume print/digital environments, including 100% adherence to brand, legal, and medical guidelines for weekly assets and link checks/layout reviews that cut edit rounds by 15%. I thrive collaborating across editors, designers, project managers, and client teams to deliver polished content—right the first time.
