I have been professionally honing my natural gift of the English language for more than 20 years. I have worked in various mediums and several genres, from local topic newspapers to glossy magazines, from society happenings to high-tier, hard-core medical journals. Now I'd like to work for your project. I can provide services from short-term proofreading to developmental copy editing to full re-write. Whatever the need, I have the experience and the expertise.

Other Experience
Animal Welfare
Worked Humane Society in training new adopters on pet care and behavior. Currently volunteer in dog rehabilitation capacity with rescued pit bulls/pit mixes with local group.
Volunteer coordinator at battered women's shelter
I developed this role at a local transitional housing facility for battered women and their children from the ground up. I recruited, trained and maintained a base of 25 volunteers (with an expanded circle of about 100) for daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and special-occasion tasks. I provided staff for child care needs for interviews/appointments for residents; arranged for a garden to be planted and maintained for fresh produce; initiated a designer clothes sale that raised thousands of dollars for the facility; hosted Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners/presents; and much more. I'd had no experience in this field prior to this position but was overwhelmingly successful at it (self-taught)!
