MA in English Language Teaching Thames Valley University 1993–1995
I'm most familiar with the APA referencing style, so that is the style I prefer. However, I am keen to work with other styles too.
My previous job was teaching English for Academic Purposes. This involved giving feedback to students on their writing as well as writing and reviewing exams. When considering a career change, I wanted a job in which I could use my skills, and proofreading seemed like the closest fit.
In my university post, I had the opportunity to proofread students' dissertations and theses. I have also done some copyediting for a linguistics journal.
Generally, I enjoy the detailed reading involved in proofreading and editing. I like to make corrections and suggest changes that can clarify the writer's purpose and meaning. As an ESL/EAP instructor, I am used to helping students express themselves in a language that is not their first. Proofreading academic texts gives me the opportunity to continue this type of work.

Nine Lives by William Dalrymple
When I'm not proofreading, I enjoy reading and walking in the beautiful countryside near where I live.
I like to consider the author and the purpose of the text, as this can help me decide on any suggested changes. I also feel that it helps to skim through the text before proofreading.
