Professional Experience
NYC proofreader and copy editor. I work with ad agencies, marketing departments, and education companies to produce professionally polished and error-free text, always delivered on time, to help these businesses succeed while saving them headaches, time, and money.
I will zero in (like a heat-seeking missile) on every misplaced comma, spelling blunder, and grammatical no-no in your text. And that’s just the beginning...
