Favorite referencing style
My favorite style is Chicago notes–bibliography because it makes the text look clean.
Why I became an editor
I studied English in college, which allowed me to pursue my two passions: literature and writing. I spent six years teaching and sharing my love of language with my students, and now I get to share my love of language through proofreading and editing.
Background and experience
I taught eighth grade history and Latin, 11th grade drama, and fourth grade homeroom (2014–2021).
Why I love proofreading and editing
I love helping people to express their thoughts clearly and beautifully, even down to the smallest details.
Favorite book:
Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh is my favorite book.
Hobbies:
When I'm not proofreading, I enjoy hiking, baking, and spending time with my family.
Editing tips:
Read the text out loud because the ear can catch some things better than the eye.
