I have extensive experience with numerous types of documents as well as a wide range of subjects.
I most commonly work in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or Adobe Acrobat. However, I also have experience with several content management systems and am happy to accommodate my clients by working with whatever system best fits their needs.
For more details on my experience, please see below, check out my LinkedIn profile, and feel free to contact me with any questions.
Here is a downloadable copy of my résumé. Only so much information can fit on one page, so these are just some of the highlights of my editing career.
