Hello and welcome to the most magical, life-changing, awe-inspiring*, Overview section you will ever read! As I am not entirely sure how to follow that up; let me boast of my abilities, use a considerable amount of "I statements", and hope that I possess an appropriate amount of experience to assist with your project. I can provide unsurpassed attention to detail and professionalism to your project. I am cursed with the gift to find errors in everything I read. I am a strong believer that editing and proofreading are the most important steps in the process of producing anything with text. If I am reading a blog, a website, a social media post, even a text message, and someone has used the incorrect “your” or “you’re”, “then” or “than”, “there” or “their”, etc etc etc, it makes my skin crawl, while simultaneously, completely discrediting anything I read previously. My background includes, but is not limited to: Content Program Manager for Upwork’s Community Blog, Career CloseUp Program, and the Community’s Contributor Program. 5+ years volunteering to help locate missing people through their digital footprint, using OSINT gathering, web-mining, data examination, etc. Research and data entry as an underwriter for a FEMA contract. Logged 100,000+ pages, millions of words, of proofread content. Transcription for multiple private practices, with NDAs. Upwards of 5,000 audio hours transcribed. Running a successful eBay account with 100% positive seller feedback, over $50,000 in sales and 50-100 active postings at all times. Whether you need a proofreading expert, an editing ninja, a transcribing machine, a data master, or a writing and blog content connoisseur, I’m your contractor! I specialize in working under pressure and I’ve never met a deadline that I didn’t meet! Thank you for taking the time to read this and just think, once I’m working on your team, you’ll have so much more time to read all the things you’d like! *interpretations may apply.
