Favorite referencing style
I have the most experience with APA, so that makes it my favorite.
Why I became an editor
In 2017, I had been a middle school history teacher for more than 15 years. I loved it! However, adolescents and a demanding schedule were exhausting. After I resigned, I discovered the world of online ESL instruction. It strengthened my passion for teaching and gave me the balance I needed. Being an ESL teacher constantly reminds me that I truly enjoy thinking about the intricacies of the English language. Proofreading allows me to combine this with my desire to help people achieve their goals.
Background and experience
I was a middle school history teacher for seventeen years. I have been an online ESL teacher for the past four years.
Why I love proofreading and editing
By nature, I am an extremely detail-oriented person. And, of course, I love reading!
Favorite book:
“To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee.
Hobbies:
Baking is my favorite way to relax. If I'm not baking something, I'm likely reading a baking blog, perusing a cookbook, or daydreaming about my next bake. I also enjoy long walks and traveling.
Editing tips:
I am constantly mindful of the purpose and intended audience.
