As a professional proofreader, my primary occupation involves ensuring written works are flawless. Alongside that, I work part-time in bookkeeping, with plans to expand my financial services in 2023. I have four years of experience using Quickbooks, and I'm known for being diplomatic, good-natured, detail-oriented, and dedicated to achieving total client satisfaction. My rates are also very competitive, and further information can be found in the FAQ section below.
I once provided exceptional home organization services throughout the San Francisco Bay Area from 2014-2016 (as indicated by my profile and reviews). However, I now focus primarily on proofreading and copy editing services for manuscripts, letter templates, brochures, newsletters, resumes, essays, and web pages.
As Terry Pratchett once said, "It’s still magic even if you know how it’s done." And I couldn't agree more! I relish the artistry involved in working with the written word, combining my innate perfectionism, attention to detail, and passion for service to benefit my clients. For every project, I ensue each word is carefully examined for spelling, consistency, punctuation, formatting, and mistranslation. My extensive resources include the Chicago Manual of Style, Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary, Court Reporting: Bad Grammar/Good Punctuation, Morson’s English Guide for Court Reporters, and The Gregg Reference Manual. I also regularly consult Google to ensure the accuracy of technical terms, trademarks, names, and addresses.
Helping others comes naturally to me, and I enjoy using my boundless energy towards constructive pursuits. I relish the diverse challenges that every writing project presents, equating them with opportunities to refine the text and perfect my artistry. It's not just a cerebral task, it's an art form that I wholeheartedly appreciate. So, don't hesitate to reach out and see how I can be of service to you!

I engaged Karryn to declutter and reorganize a home study and two large closets - one in the study and one in my bedroom. Apart from offering a thoughtful consultation before the project, she worked with me for two days. Karryn's organizing skills were impressive, and she had an excellent vision for how to sequence and transform a room. She was also incredibly efficient and brought in a handyman and haulers to support the project successfully.
Notably, Karryn helped me transform my cluttered study and two closets beyond my expectations. We removed half the bookshelves and file cabinets, converting the remaining half into a yoga studio, creating more light and space. The closets were equally impressive, and I now leave their doors open to savor the order and symmetry of the space.
Karryn's thoughtfulness and great ideas, like the organizing tools she suggested, proved crucial to the project's outcome. I was also impressed by her commitment to her work. Even when we took breaks to have lunch, she never stopped discussing options for the project.
Besides, downsizing can be an emotional process, and Karryn handled it with lots of compassion. She was always kind and used humor to make the process less arduous. This non-coercive but effective approach gave me the space and encouragement to make the decisions I had to make.
In summary, I couldn't have asked for a better organizer than Karryn. Her gifts and abilities are exemplary and would confidently recommend her services to anyone wanting to transform and organize their space. I feel lucky to have found her and can't wait to have her organize my chaotic office next.

For a few days, Karryn joined our team at the company to assist with the daunting task of sorting through numerous boxes of electrical components that we had neglected for years. Karryn quickly demonstrated her aptitude for electrical knowledge, grasping concepts like the differentiation between inductors, capacitors, ICs, and resistors in no time. In addition to this, she exhibited exceptional organizational skills by devising a comprehensive plan to categorize, categorize, and store all the components in our lab using top-of-the-line storage bins sourced online. Working with Karryn was a great experience, and we wholeheartedly recommend her for future projects.

Without Karryn's assistance, my company website would not have been able to clearly convey my services. She was an invaluable asset.
