I am a freelance language services provider with excellent written and verbal communication skills and strong linguistic abilities in English and Afrikaans. As a professional A-level English editor and proofreader, I enhance overall document worth by correcting formatting, grammar, spelling, and word choice mistakes; improving sentence composition; eliminating redundancy, and adding relevant information to academic documents on Architecture, Art, Business, Drama, Film, Law, Literature, Marketing, Nursing, Philosophy, Psychology, and Sociology. As a researcher, I gather and insert source material regarding academic research papers and write or develop thesis and purpose statements for Masters and Ph.D. dissertations; create paper outlines, and bibliographies. I have a B.A. Drama degree and studied B.A. courses in Philosophy, Logic and English at the University of South Africa. Having lived and studied in Canada and the United States for thirteen years, I definitely have the ability to edit English text at the level of a 1st language English speaker. I do freelance work for Uvocorp and Jobs for Editors (the United Kingdom and the United States) and do private editing of Masters dissertations for Architecture students at the University of Pretoria, among others. I am an excellent researcher, writer, editor, and proofreader with a solid work ethic and superb time management, analytical and problem-solving skills. As the owner and director of an acting school for adults for 27 years, I also designed the yearly syllabus, did research on and wrote teaching materials and trained students in text analysis and communication skills.
