I am a current MA student of Medieval Literatures and Languages at the University of York, specializing in Middle English throughout my studies. I am experienced in editing submissions and supporting publication processes in a collaborative team environment. I am particularly interested in roles that allow me to develop my skills in editing or proofreading, and have a strong enthusiasm to learn and develop in a new role. I am currently looking for a full-time position to undertake once my course ends, but am also open to part-time opportunities with the potential to go full-time in August.
