Biography & CV: Experienced professional

I have 15 years of experience editing manuscripts, proofreading journal submissions, transcribing interviews, and writing reports for a range of clients, from academic institutes, to publishers of fiction and private individuals. Combining a strong academic background with a sound technical understanding of language and a natural eye for detail, I bring a balanced and thorough approach to my work. I speak Gaelic and Spanish, and also specialize in proofreading submissions from non-native English-speaking clients to English language journals.
