I have a background in studying modern languages (French, with some Italian, Russian and German), with European politics and economics.
I started my proofreading career with Yell over 15 years ago and passed the Publishing Training Centre’s ‘Proofreading by Distance Learning’ and ‘Copyediting by Distance Learning’ courses. For both, I received Merits.
I’ve undertaken CPD on a regular basis with the Society for Editors and Proofreaders (SfEP), now the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP), and am a professional member.
Specific interests include art and culture, international relations, geopolitics, and travel and tourism.
But I copyedit and proofread various media and topics for businesses, publishers and other organisations.
