ABOUT ME

Who am I?

I am an editorial professional and former teacher with over 10 years of combined experience in the academic world. I have spent much of my working life analysing, marking and editing texts, and I take pride in helping people to make their written words as effective as possible.

I have experience in editing a range of academic texts, and I have worked with academics across the world on research papers and journal articles for publication. I am familiar with a number of referencing styles, and I can also work with specific departmental style guides, if required.

My subject specialism is Classics, and I hold an MA in Classics (with distinction) from University College London. I also have a Postgraduate Certificate in Education from King’s College London, and I previously taught Classics at a leading school in London. Working within a rigorous academic field for a number of years has allowed me to develop a love of language and its mechanics, as well as a keen eye for detail and accuracy. I also have hands-on experience of teaching students for whom English is a second language, and I very much enjoy proofreading and editing documents from non-native speakers.

I have formalised my editing experience by completing accredited and assessed training courses in proofreading (with distinction) and copyediting (with merit) with the Publishing Training Centre, London. I am also an intermediate member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP), and I abide by their Code of Practice for editorial excellence.
