My name is Katrina Lucero. I am a linguist, an accent modification specialist, and an ardent grammarian. I was a Language and Linguistics major in college. <br /><br />I write and edit books as a hobby, am a fan of the Oxford comma, and would like the opportunity to turn my hobby into a career.<br /><br />I am familiar with MLA standards as well as APA.&nbsp;<br /><br />I have taught English as a second language for more than 10 years to speakers from all over the world. My accent modification specialty is in assisting non-native English speakers who are proficient in the language but wish to be more fluent in cadence, intonation, and pronunciation of American English.<br /><br />I speak three languages fluently, including Mandarin Chinese and Spanish. <br /><br />My husband works in the oil industry and travels. Ideally, my job would allow the flexibility of working from home.<br /><br /><br />
