I am a compliance legal professional with strong editorial experience based in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA. I aspire to converge a detail-oriented corporate compliance skill set with an extensive background in academic proofreading, editing, and writing.
I offer strong academic editorial skills alongside 3 years' professional corporate experience in the U.S. legal field. My inclination for clear, concise, and effective written communication proved vital to my success as U.S. Compliance Assistant at WSP. Please reach out for assistance with any proofreading, editing, or writing opportunities that may benefit from the aforementioned skill set.
