About
I am a freelance proofreader focused on refining written content for improved precision and quality. With experience editing and proofreading complex documents for planning professionals and high-value medico-legal expert witness reports, I now offer a knowledgeable ‘critical friend’ proofreading service to planning professionals in both local authorities and private practice.
As a holder of a recognised proofreading qualification, my background spans local government, further education, and the commercial sector. I have successfully operated my own business for eighteen years.
Guided by a disciplined work ethic, I thrive under tight deadlines and maintain a reputation for meticulous attention to detail. I am skilled in swiftly building client relationships that foster collaboration and trust.
More about me
I was originally from Lancashire but am now happily settled in the Derbyshire Dales. My early career was as an information professional, but I have had my own project management business for many years.
I have been singing since the age of 5 and I am classically trained. I am a member of Musicke in the Ayre, a collective of musicians exploring the repertoire of the 16th and 17th century. I have written and performed in my own show: “Cissie's Songbook”, based on the music of Ivor Novello.
When not singing I can be found hiking the hills of Derbyshire or in my clogs practising Lakeland step dances.
