Favorite referencing style
I like APA, as it is widely used and easy to understand.
Why I became an editor
I innately enjoy reading, writing, and helping other people shine. I am also a stickler for rules and tend to be methodical in my work. Therefore, becoming an editor seemed like an ideal fit for me.
Background and experience
I am just breaking into professional proofreading and editing.
Why I love proofreading and editing
I enjoy improving written work and leaving helpful comments for authors. I get as much a thrill from helping to hone or coming across a great sentence as I do from listening to great music.
Favorite book:
Hacking Darwin by Jamie Metzl.
Hobbies:
I enjoy going for walks, being active in my church, playing music, and improving myself.
Editing tips:
I find it useful to do a pass on a document while listening to text-to-speech.
