I have a Bachelor of Arts in English from Pensacola Christian College in Pensacola, Florida. After graduating, I taught middle and high school English for five years. Teaching grammar, writing, spelling, poetry, and literature has given me a comprehensive knowledge of and appreciation for the English language. After editing and proofreading during college and my years teaching, I enjoyed it so much that I made the switch to full-time editor, proofreader, and writer. Throughout my career, I have done extensive proofreading and editing of essays, research papers, blogs, short stories, books, eBooks, poetry, transcripts, continuing education courses, Amazon and eBay listings, resumes, cover letters, and other documents. In addition, I have written dozens of articles for Citizen Truth, an independent news site, and have proofread for Proofit, Grammarly's human proofreading service. I work thoroughly and efficiently, and I look forward to enhancing your writing.
