Hi! I'm a trained proofreader, a total science nerd, and a dance fitness enthusiast. But let's focus on that first part. I am a graduate of Caitlin Pyle's respected Proofread Anywhere(TM) course, a comprehensive and hands-on online proofreading course focusing on the 17th Edition of the Chicago Manual of Style. I've always loved spotting grammar and spelling errors. My dad and I used to rib each other about improper preposition usage when I was growing up. Today, my loved ones like to tease me by purposefully placing commas incorrectly or using "your" instead of "you're." (You can't see it, but my eye is twitching just writing that!)

I am a Virginia Tech graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry. I am also an avid reader of fiction novels and beauty articles. I'd love to speak with you to determine whether I might be a good fit for your project!
