Expert Proofreading You Can Trust
Hello!
I’m Jean
My parents instilled in me a love of books and reading at a very young age. They also encouraged my appreciation of proper grammar and punctuation. I have often corrected other people’s communications and publications; however, I learned not to disclose their mistakes unless they ask. My honest work ethic and positive “can-do” attitude have allowed me to succeed in my career.
I spent many years working for large corporate insurance companies; where my attention to detail, project management, and broad system knowledge was utilized. I became the “go-to” person to ensure projects were completed accurately and on time. In addition to creating and publishing reference documents on the company’s intranet site, I reviewed contract documentation for accuracy and formatting.
After leaving the corporate world, I started a nationwide truck driver recruiting agency with my husband. Meticulous attention to detail, organization, and communication skills resulted in the growth of our business from one company to forty companies in the first year. There was a strong appetite from companies such as Ruan, Schneider, and Coal City Cob, who recognized the quality and reliability we delivered.
The last ten years have been spent in education, mainly working with special needs students. This experience has further honed my skill set, merging my analytical attributes with the ability to creatively adapt my style to meet the ever-changing needs of my students and their daily educational goals.
My strong communication and research skills result in quick evaluation of problems, assessment of alternatives, and development of solutions to meet the customer’s needs. My dependability and self-motivation, combined with my technical, educational, and creative background, allow me to quickly adapt to change to obtain the desired results and meet deadlines.
When I am not working, I spend time reading or tinkering with various hobbies. I also enjoy time with my family, outdoor sports, riding motorcycles, traveling, playing my keyboard, or dabbling in art.
