Welcome to Coral Proofreading. My name is Carol, and I am here to review your grammar and perfect your punctuation. 

My experience as a Diamond Grader Specialist sharpened my attention to detail, which I used to document minute inclusions for an accurate and comprehensive Diamond Grading Report. I am excited to bring the same detailed attention and focus to proofreading your project. 

Whether you have a fictional story or a transcript, my research-oriented approach will ensure your document is clear and readable. My proofreading services will eliminate overlooked errors, giving you a professionally finished document that adds credibility and value to your work.

After working with companies of all sizes, from small retail shops to an industry-leading international company, I understand the importance of clear communication and timely feedback for efficiently executed projects.

My interest in human behavior started at a young age and inspired me to study and obtain my undergraduate degree from John Jay College of Criminal Justice. I continue to be a lifelong student of psychology and criminal justice. 

My fascination with the science and history of gems and jewelry led me to spend a decade working in the jewelry industry. I am an Accredited Jewelry Professional and a Graduate Gemologist.

And now, my love of reading and learning has brought me to proofreading.

To prepare for my career in proofreading, I have received a Certificate of Excellence for Proofread Anywhere's General Proofreading: Theory & Practice and Transcript Proofreading: Theory & Practice courses.

Working with Carol for the past six years, I can confidently say that her eye for detail is unmatched. We have worked on projects together creating global training materials, and she has always been my go-to for final draft approval. Prioritizing work to meet deadlines, accuracy, and the ability to communicate effectively are just a few traits that make her an asset to have on any project. I have truly enjoyed working with her daily.

I worked alongside Carol for several years. The job required extreme attention to detail, independence, and good judgment, all traits Carol possesses. Carol quickly became a finalizing grader - the last person to review a diamond report before it is sent to a client. In this position, she edited the work of one or more previous graders and was responsible for confirming all the information contained within the report was accurate, as well as making sure that the format of the report, including spelling, grammar, and punctuation, was correct and ready to be printed. Carol is a diligent and efficient worker, a precise communicator who provides thorough feedback, and can work quickly with a high level of accuracy, all while being pleasant and easy to work with.

Simply put, Carol is amazing. The experience of working with her for a few years has been awesome. She is great at communication. Her advice is always valuable. She is someone who can provide honest and unbiased feedback on my work. She can polish my rough writing into a solid, professional writing and takes it to another level. She is the best!
