Favorite referencing style

APA is the referencing style I’m the most familiar with, but I’m excited to gain a deeper knowledge of referencing styles in general.

Why I became an editor

After a successful dance and performing arts career, I began to crave something new. I always loved languages and their technicalities, and that, coupled with a natural tendency to see mistakes in writing and feel the urgent need to correct them, led me on the exciting journey to becoming an editor/proofreader.

Background and experience

As a British expat living in Mexico, I have had the opportunity to teach English as a second language and have enjoyed working on translations from Spanish to English.

Why I love proofreading and editing

I love the feeling of seeing a new piece of writing and being able to use my skills to polish it up while at the same time being of help to someone else.

Favorite book:

I like the classics and am especially fond of anything by the Brontë sisters and Jane Austen.

Hobbies:

I love to dance, chat with my daughter, go for walks with my family, or just curl up and watch a good movie with my husband.

Editing tips:

I like to print out a document, and after reading it through, mark it up on paper first. Then I go through it again for every point on my checklist.
