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.

Request This Editor

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.
