I am a freelance copy editor and proofreader. <br /><br />My most recent education has been a Certificate in Professional Editing and Proofreading from Open Colleges Australia. Prior to that, I completed a Bachelor of Business (Honours) through the University of the Sunshine Coast. My thesis focused on change management in small businesses. My first degrees were a Bachelor of Hotel Management/Bachelor of Business majoring in accounting and human resources management through Griffith University.<br /><br />My most recent copy editing client is the What's Up Downunder magazine. This is an Australian national travel magazine, where I check articles for consistency, accuracy, spelling, punctuation and grammar while retaining each author's voice. I also compile advertorial material for each issue.<br /><br />I am a passionate reader, particularly in the science fiction, fantasy, and romance genres. I also love a good cookbook. My passion for reading, plus my education and previous experience gives me a wide area in which I am able to work.<br /><br />I chose to work freelance, so I am able to tailor my working hours to suit the requirements of having school aged children.
