APA referencing is my favorite. I used it at university, so for me, it is the easiest to work with.
Proofreading merges my love of reading with my desire to help others be the best they can be (once a teacher, always a teacher...). It also gives me the freedom to set my own hours and spend more quality time with my growing family.
I have a wide-ranging background when it comes to work experience. After studying for my sports science degree in Australia and learning a lot about the human body, I went traveling, and over the years, I worked in many areas that used my degree. When I ended up in New Zealand, I re-trained as an early childhood teacher. I have always had a strong interest in the English language and am a massive reader, so proofreading was a natural next step for me.
I like it when things are easy to read, and I particularly enjoy the way punctuation can change a sentence. For example, where I live, we have a sign that says “Lake Hawea Lookout.” Someone changed it to “Lake Hawea, Lookout!” and I thought it was pretty brilliant (not condoning graffiti, of course).

I like books that are funny and feel-good, so anything in the chick-lit genre. I also love Dr. Seuss, Julia Donaldson, and Roald Dahl for kids.
I love hanging with my family, which might involve skateboarding, dancing, singing, biking, hunting, fishing, or snowboarding. When I’m by myself, I’m probably reading a book with a cup of tea.
I skim through and find anything obvious first, then run through a checklist to get the nitty-gritty.
