About me
I was often compared to Matilda when I was a child. My love for reading anything I could get my hands on has given me a natural ability to spot typos, spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors.

Work experience

Upwork

Beta-reader, proofreader, editor

Upwork • Freelance

Mar 2025 - Present • 1 yr 3 mos

During my time on Upwork, I completed a full proofread and edit of a 65,000-word mental health nonfiction manuscript, addressing grammar, consistency, and clarity while preserving the author's voice. I also took on a beta read for an educational booklet, with feedback centered on structure, clarity, and whether the material was actually reaching its intended audience. Critical reading and editorial work have been part of what I do for longer than most freelance platforms have been around.
