Available forBeing mentored | Volunteering

☯︎ 50% bounce around with vibrant energy, connecting and nattering.
☯︎ 50% hyperfocus on detail and anything involving a beautifully boring and repetitively methodical approach.

I currently proofread hefty content: government research reports, scientific quinquennial reviews, tech white papers, sustainability reports and RD&I papers. Areas include cyber, SaaS, bioscience, medtech, agritech, manufacturing, renewables and the environment.

My proofreading service improves reader experience and reduces designer workload by eliminating 73 issues per 1000 words. (That’s the average over 2024.)

Looking to apply my structured, systematic and analytical approach to transition into a Software Tester or User Experience role. Give me a shout if you know of any opportunities for someone to sideways shuffle into a more tech-specific role.

I’ve helped at TECgirls events and keen for more volunteering opportunities.
