I'm an Australian with a background in language study, linguistics and education. My professional career for the last 9 years has been in higher-level English as a Second Language teaching, which has involved instructing students in the intricacies of English grammar, spelling, punctuation and turns of phrase. As well as proofreading and correcting students' essays on a daily basis, I also have experience in proofreading fictional writing. In 2005 and 2006, I was part of the writing team for the popular computer game Ultima V Lazarus. In all my work, I am both thorough and efficient.
