I'm a new-to-the-field copyeditor and proofreader with a passion for transforming written work into an amazing piece of writing! I recently graduated with a distinction from my level 4 Diploma in Proofreading & Editing from the College of Media & Publishing. My career objective is to find a role as a proofreader or copyeditor where I can learn and flourish whilst gaining valuable experience and sharing my passion with an awesome team!

Proofreader/Copywriter
My most relevant and recent experience within Proofreading & Editing is working with Hirstwood Training Ltd as a freelance copywriter, proofreader and close caption editor. I wrote something called "Sensory Recipes" for them which were a method on how to make sensory items for kids with special needs. I also proofread and edited their close captions for their videos, which were made for a Sensory Festival.
This being my very first job as a Proofreader & Editor gave me the confidence I needed to know that I have what it takes to be a great Proofreader & Editor and also evoked my love for it, giving me even more drive and passion to excel in my career as a professional proofreader and editor.
I have also spent several years as a fiction writer, writing and editing my own manuscript, which is 155, 000 words long.
