Favorite referencing style
My favorite referencing style is APA because it's well detailed.
Why I became an editor
It all started when I found myself correcting all sorts of mistakes in a book I was reading. I just had to correct them! Then I found myself googling proofreading courses.
Background and experience
I've been a maths teacher for eight years now and I love it.
I've edited articles and papers written by friends and translated press articles too.
Why I love proofreading and editing
There's a certain satisfaction in replacing "their" with "there," adding commas, and correcting spelling mistakes.
Favorite book:
One favorite book? The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde.
Hobbies:
When I'm not proofreading (or teaching), I'm most likely to be found playing with my cats, taking care of my succulents, listening to music, and of course, reading.
Editing tips:
I read the whole document first to get an idea of what it's about.
