My education and experience make me uniquely qualified to provide exceptional proofreading and editing services.
I graduated with honors from the University of California, Los Angeles, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English with a specialization in business and administration. I also earned a Master of Arts degree in English and a California single subject teaching credential in English.
I have fifteen years experience teaching writing and journalism to both high school and community college students. Reading and grading large amounts of student writing has honed my editing skills and helped me to become a quick and highly accurate proofreader.
Currently, I work for a government agency where my job duties include writing, editing, and formatting documents for print and Internet publication. I have experience writing and copyediting grant applications, newspaper articles, technical manuals, and regulatory codes. I am an avid reader and enjoy an eclectic range of genres and have knowledge in many fields, including literary criticism, science, history, education, and public policy.
I have expertise in Modern Language Association (MLA) format, and have used the Gregg style manual, Chicago style manual, Associated Press (AP) guidelines, and government style guides. I am comfortable with a range of software applications, including Microsoft Word, Word Perfect, Microsoft PowerPoint, and I am very quick to adapt to new programs and formats.
