My Zones of Genius
Proofreading, editing, creating any document, record, guides, manuals, presentations, SOPs, policies and any other printed material whether in hard-copy or virtual. Legal records are my forté.
Contract management and Intellectual Property management.
Customer relations whether on social media or through customer service emails.
Research whether of business competition or customer experience.
Since 1990, following my retirement from conventional corporate life, I ventured back into the world of independent business ownership. Under the banner of three affiliated businesses I have undertaken many projects in legal, historical and public presentation fields and have continually upgraded and sharpened my skills and aptitudes. The highest standards of care and diligence are cornerstones of my business philosophy to ensure that every one of my clients receives the full benefit of my experience and integrity. After careful thought and stock-taking of my skills, abilities, and the fit with my professional career, during 2006 I also took over the management and development of the Kent OPC project, a project involving the coordination of people and resources around the world for the transcription and development of free historical data publication on the World Wide Web.
Over the past 32 years, I have successfully completed many data entry and desktop publishing projects, PowerPoint presentations, performed many document and data conversions from a variety of formats to PDF, Excel spreadsheets, Access databases, and world wide web files. In that time, I have performed services for Canada Immigration, foreign Public Trustees, probate firms and solicitors in verifying claims of entitlement to entry into Canada, citizenship in both Canada and the U.S.A. as well as entitlement to legacies and bequests, respectively.
I have also conducted numerous seminars and many classes regarding various aspects of historical evidence, research and formal documentation, independently in classrooms, and for several libraries and women's groups throughout the Niagara Peninsula. I have also volunteered my time and skills to non-profit governance boards, resource centres and neighbourhood associations. So, my vast experience stands me in a good position to know what is required to bring to the boardroom table, or to a public audience, an interesting, informative, accurate and entertaining presentation.
Needless to say, my skills in copy writing, copy editing, proofreading, indexing, transcriptions, and conducting research on an variety of topics has been extremely important throughout my career. I have completed projects in market research, construction of online surveys, quantitative and qualitative research, business research, technical research, personal research, competitive research, manufacturer research, travel research, real estate and property research.
