English is my native tongue. In the last few years, I have worked as an independent contractor and freelancer. On my assignments, I tutored students in elementary through college subjects, which led to tutoring adults on worker's compensation in Windows and Microsoft Office.
It was a natural move to begin proofing and writing on websites as a favor to associates who were self-promoting their businesses, which led to experience as a web content writer and my own blog. Internet research is a daily behavior for me, so it is a highly developed skill. As a member of an online forum, I get plenty of writing done. My command of the English language and administrative skills have been a plus. I also proofread and edit written projects, e.g., manuscripts, as well. I would love to use these skills for your organization.
