Hello,
My name is Emma Baser Rose. I live in Istanbul and I am completing a master's program in Ottoman art history. I am a Canadian, born and raised in Montreal. English is my native language, although I am proficient in French. In addition, I have worked at several print and online magazines where I was trained to proofread and copy edit the majority of articles before publication.
My MA program requires all graduates to complete teaching assistant duties. Mine were to help, proofread, edit, correct, and grade papers. I was able to proofread and edit approximately thirty (30) pages a day, after my own work was completed.
As far as this project's requirements are concerned, my years in school have not only taught me how to write (in both academic and casual contexts), but also how to take criticism. Regarding the short descriptions, I was hired as a copywriter at my last job, an English-language lifestyle magazine. There, I was required to write short posts for their food and shopping directories; I was writing a paragraph or two per entry while explaining the significance of each. Because the directories were online, I also learnt a little more about SEOs and their functions.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss more details.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Emma
