Professional/Personal Overview
  I am an entry-level copy editor already well conditioned for many types of editing-related work. I devote myself daily to the study of grammar, typography, text layout, HTML and CSS, and graphic design. Any program or trade I can adopt that will help me to enhance the legibility and aesthetic quality of a given text, I aim to master it. I have used these skills for six projects in the past three months (mentioned below).

Three months of training, experience, and education at a new, developing publishing company. I also have experience as a teacher of ESL in two vastly different work environments (teaching for 10 months on Skype to Russian adults, and teaching for three months in Costa Rica to Intel workers). I have stopped teaching ESL, but I currently volunteer as a tutor at a children's hospital. My student is 9 years old, and every Tuesday I help her to understand and complete any school assignments she brings in.
Freelancer Availability
I occasionally freelance. I live near Chicago, IL. I am willing to travel locally. I have a driver's license. I have access to a car.
