Good day
I am a 31-year-old South African. My native language is English. I am currently a full-time freelancer. In terms of legal transcription, proofreading and editing, I worked for five years as a Legal Secretary, and three years as a Legal Proofreader and Editor for a top-tier UK law firm. My academic transcription, proofreading and editing projects have been freelance projects, all of which I have received excellent feedback.
I have two bachelors degrees; one is in English and Philosophy, and the other is in Accounting. I take my projects very seriously and pride myself on delivering a quality project. I will go outside of my field of expertise to learn any new skills required for the job.
I have knowledge of, among other things: UK and US English variants; a variety of styles (Chicago, Economist, Oxford, numerous house styles); advanced grammar and punctuation; referencing and various referencing standards (Harvard, MLA, etc.); formatting requirements for different media (contracts; theses; prospectuses); and knowledge of legal, financial and other technical terminology.
I own all the necessary equipment to complete this project.
I understand my Freelancer profile is not extensive - I am attempting to use this site more to find work. I hope this does not dissuade you!
Please contact me if you would like to know anything else.
