I am a young upstart editor, enthusiastic to find my first opportunity to move from mock editing in the collegiate setting to actual editing in the real world. I am dedicated to what I do, and I have to ability to focus for extended periods of time on the task at hand. I have read, written, and edited thousands of pages of documents of various types and genres, but none of those have been outside of the classroom setting. However, I am confident that I can make the transition and edit effectively. I have the knowledge; I have the skills, now I need the opportunity.&nbsp;
