I am a Business Aministration Major at Bethune Cookman University who is also a very good writer. Just like any other college student or American citizen who's last name is not Gates or Buffet, I am in need of some extra funds. My mother was an English teacher and it was because of this influence that I was able to attain a college reading and writing level as a freshman in high school. I will have my resume with some examples of my writing posted within the next few business days.

When I read a book, I read it grammatically and for spelling. I catch so many errors when reading books, which I love to do on a daily basis. Rarely will you see me without a book in my hands. I have been doing Data Entry work for the last 4 years straight and have been working doing Secretarial jobs for the last 15 years. I love to read and would love to freelance as a proofreader. I am a stay at home mom and have plenty of time on my hands to spend proofreading books for editors. I type faster than most people, I haven't taken a speed test in forever. I will provide a copy of my resume if asked.
