Aug 2021 - Sep 2022 • 1 yr 1 mo
Worked full time as an English Editor and Trainer at MDPI. Our expected turnaround was above industry standard. The fast-paced nature of this job has given me the ability to work quickly and accurately without compromising on speed or quality. My main responsibilities in this role were editing and improving the written English and grammar of scientific research articles and editorials before publishing, plus improving the style and voice of internal communications such as emails and newsletters. I was also given the responsibility of training new and prospective employees. This involved coaching new hires on how to edit writing to a high quality while developing their confidence and being their point of contact within the company. During this time I developed a deep understanding of English style guides (primarily ACS), nuanced grammatical rules and publishing workflows, plus how to edit while retaining the original author's voice.
