Company Description:
I am a freelance copy editor, proofreader, and desktop publisher. I have experience in health research, urban planning, legal documents, and news media. I've produced and edited everything from grant and project proposals, patient consent forms, technical reports and papers, and research articles, to news articles and even a graduate-level textbook.
I specialize in working with writers who speak English as a second or foreign language. I've worked with people whose native languages include Hungarian, Japanese, Chinese, French, German, Portuguese, Arabic, Farsi, Chinese, and Spanish.
I am an expert in Word 2003 and 2007, Adobe Acrobat Professional, and Excel 2003 and 2007; and I'm comfortable with both Mac and Windows platforms.
