I am a highly-educated editor and proofreader with a track record of expertise. During 20 years as a Fortune 50 manager, my exceptional ability in written communication was a consistently rewarded asset. With an MA from Yale, an MBA, and two professional financial certifications (CPA and CMA), I can expertly review and enhance your creative work or business document.
Both my education and business experience have provided me with the skills required to edit and proofread business, academic, and literary documents in a thorough and professional manner.
First, my education and credentials: I have a BA degree Magna Cum Laude in Classical Studies from West Virginia University, and an MA in the liberal arts (specializing in religion) from Yale. I also have an MBA from Fontbonne University in St. Louis. I have honed my writing, editing, and proofreading skills by composing many research papers on literary and historical subjects, as well as a master's thesis. I have also obtained certifications as a Certified Public Accountant and a Certified Management Accountant. These credentials have helped to give me a strong understanding of the language of business and finance.
Second, my business experience: for over 20 years, I was a manager for a Fortune 50 company, and subsequently, a business consultant. In these positions, writing clear, concise communications was a critical requirement. A few examples are as follows:
• I have written narratives for corporate business cases. These narratives were used to convince upper management of the desirability of implementing a program or project.
• I have composed numerous documents explaining how to use financial models developed by myself or others.
• I have acted as editor and proofreader of technical documentation pertaining to the proper recording and testing of financial instruments.
• I have written corporate white papers on accounting subjects.
• I have published two book reviews in Management Accounting magazine.
• I have written numerous detailed, in-depth audit reports.
• I have designed and prepared sales analyses, reports, and presentations for a national sales organization.
