Career​

I originally worked as a community speech and language therapist for five years in various NHS Trusts, then following 

parenthood, took a sideways step into working with adults with learning disabilities in local community projects.

 

Since 2015 I have been a freelance professional indexer and proofreader, and am a dedicated Advanced Professional Member of the Society of Indexers, and an Intermediate Level Member of the Chartered Institute of Editors and Proofreaders (CIEP). I value being part of the team involved in the final stages of book production.

​

I actively work to enhance and update my professional skills through courses, discussion groups and involvement with local groups and attendance at annual conferences.
