Profile

I have been a freelance proofreader, copy editor and indexer since 1996. I hold an honours Bachelor degree in Food and Nutrition and have co-authored a cookbook. I have worked extensively for legal and educational publishers, private businesses and academic thesis candidates. I have vast experience in a variety of topics including legal (all areas), food and nutrition,  health, science and business. I have worked on textbooks, non-fiction books, journal articles and promotional materials, both from hardcopies and online. I have excellent researching and fact-finding skills. I am detail-oriented, meticulous, thorough and work well under pressure to meet deadlines.
