My experience in proofreading is somewhat atypical.
I took the scenic route to become a freelance proofreader.
Here are just a few of my stops along the way:
I was an executive assistant for many years, and proofreading and copyediting were integral to my roles within the various organisations I have worked for.
I completed a BA in Health Sciences and Social Services—specialising in counselling psychology.
I completed a graduate diploma in marketing, a diploma in proofreading, and a creative writing course.
I’m a grammar nerd and I love everything about the English language.
Proofreading is as much a hobby for me as it is a vocation.
If you want your content to make a positive first impression on your chosen audience –
I delight in providing “any-time” service. Depending on my workload, I will gladly assist you with last-minute or after-hour requests. For a free quote, send me your requirements (e.g.: word count, service required, type of document, and deadline).

My rates are based on the type of service required, the number of words in the original document, the deadline, and the nature and complexity of the written material.
