With a philosophical background from my first degree, I cherish being critical and academically rigorous. I have been teaching/lecturing for almost 10 years. However, I have done part-time editing and written over 100 feature articles for a magazine supplement. I obtained a MA in Creative Writing from the University of Cape Town in 2006. I really like editing and proofreading and given a chance i would sacrifice my teaching career for the editing role.<br /><br />Generally I am a self-starter, motivated by the need to be thorough in everything academic that I do. I have a great eye for detail and can work alone as well as with a team.
