about & recent editing/proofreading work
I’m an editor and proofreader with experience that spans a wide variety of subjects and industries. I’m also a bit of an email and maven, having managed many newsletters through Constant Contact and Mailchimp but most recently, managing emails, drip campaigns, reporting and tracking of emails, etc. in Salesforce. Because of my technical background, I pick up new platforms, software, and processes easily—my greatest strength is being able to jump right in and help teams accomplish their goals quickly.
