About me

A perfectionist at heart, I possess excellent concentration, an eagle eye for detail and extensive experience of proofreading.

Some elements of the role I have frequently undertaken are:

· understanding proofs and liaising with designer to ensure all modifications are incorporated, checked and strictly adhere to brand guidelines

· working to a style checklist to ensure presentation uniformity and accuracy in printed copy

· checking that illustrations, captions and facts/text are consistent throughout

· sub-editing text written by a number of authors to guarantee a uniform house style

· resolving style/text inconsistencies with author/client through prompt, clear and personable communication

· ensuring that publications are prepared to budget and schedule etc.

Examples of documentation I have reviewed are: corporate annual reports, conference programmes, PR campaign materials, press releases, adverts, banners, posters, flyers, booklets, web database promotional information, branding, presentations, exhibition signage, manuscripts, joint venture proposals, memoranda of understanding etc.

My time and project management skills facilitate meeting daily targets and tight deadlines under pressure. I am methodical and conscientious in my approach; I prioritise effectively where multitasking is involved. I am a committed 'hands on' team player, however, I am more than used to working autonomously and taking the initiative when opportune.
