About me
I believe that the diversity of my previous work experience only adds to my skill in this field.
Beginning in the workforce as an English teacher has made me proficient in punctuality, multi-tasking, empathy and accuracy with a red pen! Working in administration has enabled me to fully understand the process of a successful fast-paced company and how to work pro-actively with a variety of people to create a high-quality outcome in any situation.
But it is my experience as a copywriter/sub-editor that has been the most rewarding of all. Working for a lifestyle marketing company, I was responsible for creating and editing copy for our weekly magazine, national broadsheet and local newspapers, signboards and websites. I wrote and edited to a 24-hour deadline, generally on around 20 pieces a day. I was responsible for maintaining consistency in format and an impeccable accuracy in grammar and style that is necessary in competitive publishing.
