I am an astute, highly-trained and experienced proofreader, editor and translator. I received my Ba Languages: English Studies degree from the University of Pretoria at the end of 2010. During my three-year course, my modules included: English Editing, English for Specific Purposes (grammar) and Introduction to Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages as well as various translation and Engl
ish literary modules. I then continued to complete my Ba (Hons): Translation and Professional Writing degree with distinction at the end of 2011. My modules during this one-year course included: English Editing, Text Evaluation, Creative Writing and Writing for the Media as well as various translation modules and English literary modules. After completing my honours degree, I started working on freelance editing, translation and transcription projects, before accepting a full-time position at a publishing firm. At this publishing firm, I further developed my editing and proofreading skills working on various projects in a wide variety of fields and proved my skills time and again as shown by being frequently promoted. During my time in the high-pressure and extremely deadline-driven publishing industry, I also learnt the importance of sticking to a deadline while maintaining high-quality standards. After two and a half years at the publishing firm, I decided to work as a freelance proofreader, editor and translator again and provide careful, meticulous and quality work which is always delivered on time to perfection. I am furthermore a member of the Professional Editors Group and adhere to their code of conduct.
