Favorite referencing style

APA is the referencing style I’m the most familiar with, but I’m excited to gain a deeper knowledge of referencing styles in general.

Why I became an editor

After a successful dance and performing arts career, I began to crave something new. I always loved languages and their technicalities, and that, coupled with a natural tendency to see mistakes in writing and feel the urgent need to correct them, led me on the exciting journey to becoming an editor/proofreader.

Background and experience

As a British expat living in Mexico, I have had the opportunity to teach English as a second language and have enjoyed working on translations from Spanish to English.

Why I love proofreading and editing

I love the feeling of seeing a new piece of writing and being able to use my skills to polish it up while at the same time being of help to someone else.

Request This Editor

Favorite book:

I like the classics and am especially fond of anything by the Brontë sisters and Jane Austen.

Hobbies:

I love to dance, chat with my daughter, go for walks with my family, or just curl up and watch a good movie with my husband.

Editing tips:

I like to print out a document, and after reading it through, mark it up on paper first. Then I go through it again for every point on my checklist.
