    Do you need to clean up or finalize your academic papers, journal manuscripts, thesis, or dissertation? I am your grammar, spelling, and punctuation police! I am results-driven and will honor the deadline(s) you set. My expertise is in APA style (both 6th and 7th editions). I also have copyedited/proofread/formatted papers and manuscripts in AMA, MLA, Vancouver, Harvard, and ASA styles. As your copyeditor, the goal is to make your work cohesive, consistent, and complete. I will revise your draft to make it free of grammatical and factual errors and correct any awkward language and overly wordy sentences. I focus on grammar, spelling, punctuation, and syntax (sentence structure) for corrections. For formatting, I will ensure fonts, layout, and style consistency according to guidelines (i.e., APA, university, etc.). As a proofreader, I will minimize embarrassing mistakes before publication, specifically looking for and correcting typographical and grammatical errors. I will also detect inconsistency in layout or fonts. My proofreading service will be the final check of your written work before submission to the university, journal editors, or publishers. I primarily use Microsoft Word using track changes for editing and proofreading. I have also used Google Docs through suggesting mode and OverLeaf (LaTex) for previous client work. If requested, I can use these tools. I deliver the work in two versions: tracking and no tracking changes. I pride myself on time management. Upon contract agreement, we will discuss a reasonable deadline for your work. I will send you the deliverables on or before the deadline. If there are any delays, I will inform you immediately. I want to emphasize that good copyediting or proofreading occurs when it is not hurried. Rush editing/proofreading work will incur additional fees.

    I have a strong customer service and technical support background, with both technical and creative interests. I also have strong copy-typing, transcription, and editing skills which are paired with a keen eye for detail. I am very strong with all office-type applications, such as Excel, Word, and Powerpoint. I also have strong Python, C++, and HTML experience. A lot of my Python experience is geared toward data analysis due to my Master of Science in Data Analytics. Outside of these, I also have experience with various website/blog creators/editors such as Wix, Wordpress, etc. In my current role as an IT Support Senior Administrator for O'Reilly Automotive's corporate office, I consistently must create or edit reports that require extensive data entry, data analytics, and research. I strive to give my best in every work situation, whether it be full-time or freelancing. I look forward to providing you with my skill set.
