Summary
Excellent proofreader who has been engaged in teaching and tutoring until now. Strong attention to detail, especially focused on grammar and usage while also paying attention to style and accuracy of content. After submitting proofreading suggestions to a published author, was hired to proofread a series of publications about Jewish festivals. Received positive response to suggestions to another published author and editor. I am now seeking to fulfill a longstanding ambition to begin a career in proofreading.
