Hello, and great to meet you! I’m a seasoned copy editor, proofreader, writer, and copywriter with a naturally sharp and, by now, also practiced eye for detail. (I even edit billboards while driving on the highway!) My experience spans a range of fields, including medicine, biohacking, language learning, education, technical content, and fiction. PROJECTS -I occasionally edit and proofread postgraduate course content developed by iheed for medical professionals, covering disciplines such as neuroscience and psychology, occupational medicine and safety, and infectious diseases. -I was the acting editor of a national healthcare magazine (HMR Africa) for nearly three years. -I rewrote a short book, How We Age, and formatted it for Kindle and e-book reading. -I published several feature articles for a local community newspaper, The Edge. -I wrote advertorials; YouTube true crime scripts; scripts for language learning (InnovativeLanguage.com); and numerous blogs. This list is not exhaustive—I've been working with words all my life! Please also see my Upwork portfolio for actual examples of my writing. My English and Afrikaans language skills are superior. In my work, I always aim for accuracy, clarity, and readability, tailoring my approach to fit your needs. I furthermore thrive on learning new skills. Recently, I’ve been diving into Full Stack Development and Python to expand my technical expertise further, and I'm also learning to speak French (Vraiment!). I have higher teacher's diploma (pre-school to Grade 4), and have completed most modules of a diploma in journalism. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC's) curated academic content provides an excellent way to remain up to date and expand my education. Courses I've completed so far include: -Prompt Engineering for ChatGPT (Coursera) -Introduction to Google SEO (Coursera) -Learning How to Learn for Youth (Coursera) -Introduction to Forensic Science (FutureLearn) -Start Writing Fiction (FutureLearn) -Nutrition and Wellbeing (FutureLearn) -Making Sense of Health Evidence (FutureLearn) My background in journalism and teaching also strengthens my ability to distill complex ideas into clear, accessible content. This allows me to write, rephrase, and edit technical content with ease. Thanks to my “OCD-lite,” I often deliver polished work on the first submission. For very large, complex projects, I collaborate with a qualified copy editor/proofreader at my own expense to ensure the highest quality. I take pride in delivering excellent work, consistently meeting deadlines, maintaining clear, prompt communication, and collaborating effectively with teams. If you’re looking for a meticulous editor, proofreader, or writer—and someone adaptable enough to wear multiple hats, if needed—I’d love to help!
