I am a technical editor specialising in evaluating what you have in your existing content. I apply a process of defining the purpose and anticipated audience, then work with you towards findable, readable, usable, accessible and credible content.
I have Certificates in Technical Communications and Web Design and Writing and am currently studying towards a degree in Communications with Massey University of New Zealand, which is an extension of my previous work in industrial and research science.

Testimonials
“Teresa is always willing to learn new tasks and take on new responsibilities when asked. She has a pleasant manner and confident approach that easily puts customers at ease and always looks for positive outcomes when under pressure. Teresa’s attention to detail is superb and a real asset to any employer looking to improve organisational systems and processes.”
“Teresa has been confidently and competently working as a content editor alongside a website developer and myself, a yoga teacher. Teresa is diligent in her work and pointed out clearly where clarity of intent and continuity did not play out. I found she kept me focused on the final product with a methodical process to avoid later complications. Her strategic planning was really reliable and I would highly recommend Teresa.”
“Teresa has an eye for detail and both her research and writing are thorough and competent.
I have no hesitation in recommending Teresa as an excellent candidate for any role involving professional and technical writing, including web-writing and web-editing.”
