PRIMARY ROLE:

My main professional occupation is as an Auditor, but I have also had the opportunity to gain expertise in many other skill areas, especially:

Copywriting - Over 5 years of professional and on-the-job training received, including writing for Digital Media (website reviews, on-line training materials, etc). I am highly literate with an advanced vocabulary and I have assisted in the development of many types of House Style for the private and public sectors.

Proofreading - Freelance work since 2002, plus over 7 years professional experience. I am an extremely meticulous proofreader with a sharp eye for the smallest errors, and understand how crucial appropriate and competent use of language is for the perception of any organisation.

Transcription - I have minuted and transcribed high-level corporate and public meetings for over 8 years.

Data Analysis and Administration - 2 degrees with substantial portions in advanced statistical analysis and database creation/management, experience with numerous varied datasets; advanced analysis in Excel.
