I am a PTC-trained proofreader and intermediate member of the
Chartered Institute for Editing and Proofreading (CIEP). I am a native English speaker based in the county of Norfolk, United Kingdom. I have a passion for clear English and a keen eye for detail.
Before retraining for my editorial career, I enjoyed more than twenty years in a project engineering and equipment design role for a reputable company supplying bespoke equipment and systems mainly to the food industry.
Prior to that I graduated from Loughborough University with a BEng (Hons) degree in Chemical Engineering and gained experience with several multi-national companies.
My early career began with books; I worked as a library assistant and now I'm back in the world of words. It's funny how things turn out.
When I'm not enhancing your written English, I enjoy the simple pleasures in life – walking along the Norfolk coast and cycling in the countryside, singing with a contemporary choir and travelling the world (well I can dream!).
I look forward to working with you.
