I am a native English freelancer with experience in proofreading, writing, editing, and formatting. I have a BCom degree in Strategic Management, which was primarily centered around business management, accounting, and economics. I am comfortable working in UK or US English. As part of my degree I completed various research modules and as such have experience with academic referencing, especially Harvard style. I am also familiar with academic writing and research methodology. I have a particular interest in technology and am familiar with terminology relating to programming, computer hardware and software, web development, cryptocurrency, and robotics. This interest in technology extends to AI and I am adept at using ChatGPT to speed up projects and humanizing AI work. That said, I will never use AI for a project without your explicit instructions or permission. I am comfortable working with Excel, Word, Trint, Slack, WordPress, Express Scribe, PowerPoint, Google Sheets, and Google Docs. I am also a fast learner and would love the opportunity to work in new programs and formats. This means that I'm happy to proofread comments in Python code, text on WordPress sites, and much more. I am an efficient and capable freelancer who is able to offer highly competitive rates due to my country's exchange rate.

Thank you Karen Peppler for a gazillion versions of logos I would NEVER have dreamed of! Your talent and imagination is quite something! *** Karen did an amazing job at interpreting the brief and delivering an amazing result. We appreciated her input and creativity in the process. *** "OMG these are beautiful and just what I wanted, thank you a million. I LOVE them." *** "Karen never ceases to amaze me with her talent! She can take the concept in my mind and design a beautifully-branded document that looks even better in reality than it did when I dreamed it up. I can't recommend her enough! She is amazing!" *** "Karen is a gem!! Her work is meticulous and perfect. She is always available when I need her and she gets the job done quickly, without sacrificing quality of work. She is easy to communicate with, friendly, and the quality of work produced is nothing short of amazing. I highly recommend Karen for your graphic design needs. I would not consider going to anyone else! She is my first choice always!!" *** "Karen is a true professional. She is friendly and skilled. Highly recommend." *** "Did several extra edits - really great to work with! Don’t hesitate to hire!" *** Amazing work and have used Karen again! *** Since I can remember I wanted to work in the design field.
