Work experience
Lawyer
Multiple Employers • Full-time
Dec 2020 - Present • 5 yrs 5 mos
As a lawyer, I routinely have to communicate effectively and concisely in writing. I am not seeking legal clients through this platform and will not provide legal advice. I will only take on projects that do not involve me practicing law.
Freelance Writer & Editor
Upwork • Freelance
Jan 2019 - Feb 2021 • 2 yrs 1 mo
Skilled at various types of research and writing and am also a very thorough editor and proofreader. Completed several assignments thus far. Several of them involved editing short articles, which I often had to do the same day. Another involved editing a few dozen reports about the hiring process at various tech companies. I not only had to proofread and edit the reports, but I also had to add a small section to each report, which required research.

I worked as an RA for Professor Lawton. I helped her do some final proofreading, editing, and research for an edition of Gilbert Law Summaries covering the topic of Bankruptcy. I checked for grammar, spelling, consistency, proper citations, etc. I also had to help proofread a 90 page summary for this project in a 24 hour timeframe. I also helped proofread the final proofs. I also helped research bankruptcy laws and cases, as well as assisted with editing and proofreading, for various articles. Including an article for the MSU Law Review, available here: https://digitalcommons.law.msu.edu/lr/vol2020/iss1/3/ I also assisted with research for a book on Chapter 9 bankruptcy.
