Personal summary

I am an experienced proofreader with a keen eye for detail, honed through my professional work as a Transport Planner and academic collaborations. My role involved proofreading technical to ensure accuracy, correct terminology, consistency, and adherence to bespoke style guides while respecting the author's unique style. I thrive in managing multiple workstreams and meeting tight deadlines without compromising quality. At university, I proofread PhD theses for non-native English speakers, enhancing clarity and fluency while maintaining the original intent. Additionally, I have proofread a novel by a well-known author, and as an avid reader of psychological thrillers, detective novels, and dystopian fiction, I regularly spot inconsistencies, grammar, and punctuation errors. I possess a deep understanding of grammatical rules, punctuation, and language mechanics, with strong command over English spelling and vocabulary. Familiar with document editing tools such as Microsoft Word’s "track changes" function, I combine my technical and communication skills to deliver polished, error-free content.
