In my freelance career, my two main clients have been UNICEF and the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH). I have assisted with editing and proofreading for several projects with UNICEF. I have performed substantive editing and proofreading for multiple 15,000-word Thematic Reports and lengthy Humanitarian Action Reports. I have written dozens of one-page summaries about the humanitarian needs of countries in order to appeal to prospective UNICEF donors and have provided rewrites to numerous UNICEF documents, including, for example, an 80-page Tanzania's National Plan of Action for Most Vulnerable Children. In addition, I have performed several years worth of proofreads for the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH) "Quarterly" magazine, as well as other documents and reports published by the SMPH.
