Expert in APA & Dissertations, Christian Editing, Proofreading
After reading my profile, please invite me to submit a proposal for specific application to your job. General proofreader, Academic Dissertation Coach/Editor. Highly skilled with APA format and Word/Powerpoint. Experienced Editor, Genealogist, Musician, and Rosarian. U.S. English Only, please. Retired from Northcentral University in 2022. Detail oriented work is a must in my book and you will get a high-quality product from me. Please invite me to discuss how my skills fit your posting, how I can address your expected and unexpected needs, and to negotiate my rate. You will be pleased with a fast turn-around of quality work. For over 25 years I served as a peer-reviewer focusing on writing and APA formatting for a national journal. Because of this, my proofreading skills are very honed causing errors to practically jump off the page. I have a recently completed letter of recommendation from a journal editor filed here. Over 25 years in churchwork as Choir Director and have a personal relationship with the Lord. Additionally, having BM/MM in Music Ed, MS in Ed Admin and PhD in Adult Ed Leadership, I taught for 30 years (7-12 and college), currently working primarily with PhD candidates in APA7 only, to design and complete their research including over 500 student dissertations of nearly 200 pages with over 100 references in APA format. I provide Dissertation Coaching (see portfolio below). US English only. I am a professional musician (keyboard/singer) and amateur Rosarian and Genealogist in my spare time so not just an academician. I co-edited a 30 chapter book (500 pages) on Learning Assistance programs, edited Memories from the Schoolhouse (Amazon), and edited over 100 non-fiction vanity press publications. Extensive work in Excel as bookkeeper and treasurer for several organizations, and use MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint almost daily.
