Conscientious professional skilled in editing and project management.
I am a dedicated and solution-oriented professional with a diverse background in editing, research, project management, and client services. My experience spans various roles, including a part-time Funeral Advisor at Central Co-op Funeral, where I provided compassionate support to bereaved families while ensuring meticulous administrative accuracy. My academic credentials include a Master’s degree in Creative Writing from the University of Birmingham, where I graduated with distinction, and a BA in English Language and Literature from Queen’s University, Canada.
In my freelance work, I have edited and proofread STEM research manuscripts for MDPI, maintaining a 24-hour turnaround in line with publication standards. My role as a Contractor for VIQ Solutions involved editing and transcribing sensitive legal documents for the Ministry of Justice, showcasing my ability to handle time-sensitive materials with precision. I am also proficient in various technological tools, including MS Office, Google Workspace, and Adobe Creative Suite, which I leverage to optimize workflows and enhance productivity.
