Red Pen Proof

 

I am a wife and mother, of two boys - both under the age of 8, the youngest of whom is Deaf. I left work with the Welsh Government, to become a stay at home mum, and work with South East Wales Deaf Children's Society, a group set up by Parents for Children, who suffer any level of Hearing loss and their siblings and families.

 

I decided that I would like to work for myself and work from home. What better way than to start my own freelance business, doing what I know?

​

I have 14 years’ experience working in the civil service, including proofreading information, from documents to webpages and electronic newsletters.

​

My work also included editing copy for social media platforms and newsletters and compiling information and writing reports. To me this means:
