I am a professional editor and proofreader with 7 years of experience working with businesses, academics, and professionals across health, finance, and technology. When I edit a document, I look at the whole picture whether the ideas flow logically, whether the tone is consistent, whether the reader will follow the argument from beginning to end. Then I look at the details. My editing work covers website content, academic papers and theses, business reports, research documents, and long-form articles. I work across APA, MLA, Harvard, and Chicago referencing styles and am comfortable with both British and American English conventions. I am also experienced in SEO content editing, which means I can review web copy not just for correctness but for readability, keyword integration, and structure, the things that affect how content performs online. Clients come to me when the document matters, before a thesis submission, a website launch, or a business proposal goes to a decision maker. I make sure it is clear, polished, and exactly what it needs to be. If you are not sure whether your document needs a proofread or a full structural edit, feel free to message me and I will let you know what I think it needs.
