Hello! I'm Ligia
I could say I am a Brazilian architect, but life brought me to Canada to work with words. As a detail-oriented person, I have always been asked to review text works from co-workers and relatives, so proofreading came quite naturally as a skill. And being fluent in both Portuguese and English allows me to understand ESL (English as a second language) speakers and help them deliver a comprehensive and precise message to their audience. Besides, I often share vegan cooking experiences and organic gardening tips with the aim of leaving a better planet to my kid.
