I started as a proofreader nearly 6 years ago after working as a journalist for several years. I moved on to a copywriting position with a mail order catalog company. I now work for Best Buy as a copyeditor/proofreader, working on a variety of media, including circulars, billboards, magazine and newspaper ads, direct mail pieces and newsletters.

I am customer oriented, prompt and can give you a fast turnaround on almost any project. I am very detail oriented and strive for accuracy in everything that I do. I have excellent computer skills and am internet savvy; I am clever in finding different ways to research topics and find the information that I need. I have a variety of interests and the ability to learn new things quickly. I pride myself on being low maintenance and easy to work with.
