What I'm looking for

I seek proofreading/editing roles where I can ensure accuracy, mentor other editors, work collaboratively, and apply fact-checking and SEO-aware editing.

I am an experienced proofreader, editor, and reviewer with a strong track record correcting grammar, punctuation, and inconsistencies across business, marketing, blog, and AI-generated content. I work collaboratively with teams to deliver polished, accurate writing and provide constructive feedback to other editors.

With over a decade of experience in career guidance and roles across administration, data entry, sales, and customer service, I bring strong organizational skills and attention to detail to every project. I focus on fact-checking, concision, and restructuring content so writing flows smoothly and resonates with its intended audience.

I hold QLS Level 4 diplomas in Proofreading, Editing and Webediting, plus additional certifications in SEO and online marketing, and I am committed to continual professional development and delivering consistent, high-quality results.
