EDITING As an experienced editor, writer, and English teacher, I can help you craft top-notch written work that communicates your ideas well and engages your readers. I'm experienced with each stage of the editing process, from clarifying and refining ideas, to shaping and developing a text, to proofing and polishing final manuscripts. One of my most important skills as an editor is the ability to focus on the details while keeping the larger vision and purpose of the manuscript in view. In both my teaching and my editing work, I have had extensive experience supporting writers to help them convey their ideas effectively and achieve a professional standard. In each of my professional roles — teaching native and non-native speakers, revising written work by colleagues and students, and editing books, grant proposals, essays, marketing materials, technical guides, website content, and academic writing — working with the written word and helping others to convey their meaning more fully and effectively has been central to what I do. I have recently returned to freelance editing after six years working in editing, communications, and customer support at a startup educational publisher. My roles in this position included content editing, copyediting, and proofreading our curriculum, resources, and marketing materials, writing copy for our website, blog, newsletter, and catalog, managing web content, and developing our online Help Center. So I am very comfortable with editing and writing text for an online audience as well working as books, other print manuscripts, and academic writing. CUSTOMER SUPPORT I have eight years of experience in customer service roles, including six years of customer support and curriculum consulting at an educational publisher. My work has included extensive communication with customers in person, on the phone, and via email, social media, and customer service communication software (Zendesk), and I'm very comfortable communicating through each of these platforms. I've also managed a Shopify webstore and a customer-facing online Help Center. An obsessive problem solver, I'm friendly, empathetic, detail-oriented, and professional. I love being able to provide excellent service that not only provides real solutions for customers but exceeds their expectations, equipping them with what they need and making them feel supported, encouraged, and heard. A NOTE ABOUT MY RATE I have recently returned to freelance work after six and a half years in a full-time communications, editing, and customer support role. My current Upwork rate reflects this experience. I would be happy to talk with you free of charge before beginning a project, or to provide a free sample edit of an excerpt of your manuscript, in order to help you get a good sense of my work and whether it would be a good fit for your needs.

I am a professional translator enriched by a diverse cultural background, fluent in both English and Chinese. My early life was rooted in China, where I spent the first seventeen years immersed in the rich tapestry of Chinese culture. During my time there, I successfully completed my high school education and obtained my diploma. Subsequently, at the age of seventeen, I immigrated to the United States and continued my high school education for an additional year, ultimately earning an American high school diploma. My educational journey didn't end there. In the United States, I pursued a college degree and, upon graduation, chose to stay in this land of opportunity to work. As of now, I have accumulated thirteen years of invaluable experience in studying, working, and living in the United States, gaining a deep understanding of American and Western cultures. This cross-cultural life experience has not only allowed me to deeply understand the differences and connections between Eastern and Western cultures but has also honed my professional skills in writing, editing, and translating in both English and Chinese. The translation services I provide are faithful to the original text's intent and context, ensuring clarity and fluency in both languages, free from grammatical errors. Additionally, I am a member of the American Translators Association (ATA), which represents my commitment to the translation profession and acknowledges my translation abilities. I am passionate about applying my linguistic skills and cross-cultural insights to every translation project, committed to delivering high-quality, efficient services to my clients. I look forward to collaborating with you, exploring and creating new possibilities together. 我是一位拥有丰富跨文化背景的专业翻译，精通中英文。我的早年生活在中国，我在那里度过了前十七年，沉浸在丰富的中华文化之中。在中国，我顺利完成了高中学业并获得了高中毕业证书。随后，在十七岁那年，我移民美国，并继续在这里完成了一年的高中教育，最终获得了美国的高中毕业证书。 我的教育之旅没有因此而停止。在美国，我继续攻读大学学位，并在毕业后选择留在这个充满机遇的国家工作。迄今为止，我在美国的学习、工作和生活已积累了十三年的宝贵经验，并深入了解了美国及西方文化。这段跨文化的生活经历不仅让我深入理解中西文化的差异与联系，也锻炼了我在中英文写作、编辑和翻译方面的专业技能。我所提供的翻译服务不仅忠实于原文的意图和语境，同时确保了中英文表达的清晰流畅，无语法错误。 我还是美国翻译协会（American Translators Association, ATA）的成员，这一身份不仅代表了我对翻译职业的承诺，也是对我的翻译能力的认可。我热衷于将我的语言技能和跨文化理解力运用到每一个翻译项目中，致力于为客户提供高品质、高效率的服务。 我期待与您的合作，一同探索和创造新的可能性。
