I am interested in helping create or improve YouTube content by copy editing or proofreading content, or assisting in creating instructional manuals. My work experience is in avionics, 'big system' computer installations, newspaper library systems, and healthcare, so I'm familiar with the vocabulary and phraseology of these topics. An avid gardener and landscaper, my yard welcomes birds, bees, and the local wildlife, and I do much research on the types of plants that encourage them to flourish.
I'm a native English speaker, worked as a newspaper proofreader right out of high school, then earned a BA in English on campus and attending night school in the military. Either voluntarily or as requested by employers, I wrote operational manuals and user's guides which my employers then used for training others on new procedures or equipment. I've performed medical transcription/editing for many years, both in-hospital and from home as an independent contractor (think dependability, good work ethic).
My goal is to help present information that flows, transitions smoothly between sentences, effortlessly connects thoughts, allows the listener to follow with fascination and without distraction. I care very much about people's well-being, wanting to contribute to their education, health, and sheer enjoyment of life on our beautiful planet.
