  Proofreader

  I correct grammatical as well as factual errors in documents and am the last pair of eyes before articles are published, while adhering to deadlines.I assess editors and score their works based on how well their files are edited.I contribute by suggesting improvements in processes that will make the process more efficient.I am tasked with sending across surveys based on training sessions conducted in order to assess the effectiveness of these sessions.I've managed the recreational events within the editorial team as an additional task.
