About me

Qualified proofreader with small business financial background | Outdoor enthusiast | Travel addict | Accomplished cook I am a professional member of the CIEP. I have been working as a proofreader since July 2015. Prior to that I focused on detail and worked to tight deadlines in a variety of financial roles in small businesses. I have proofread and edited travel, food, sailing and business publications, over 40 children's picture books, 2 business PhD theses, pre-submission journal articles, and a wide range of marketing content, blogs, business proposals and reports.
