Bio
Justine Cooper
I worked with Kate for 11 years at the IB. She is a highly skilled project manager, editor and proofreader. She has first-class interpersonal skills and is also extremely conscientious, always ensuring the best possible service and result. I would not hesitate to recommend her for freelance project managing, editing or proofreading.
Sandra Paton
I authored a number of IB publications on which Kate was the project editor. Kate was extremely professional to work with. Her overall management of any writing project was always of the highest standard. I found Kate to be extremely knowledgeable about the content and style of publications. She maintained deadlines and when a request was made by me to extend or shorten, Kate was always willing to negotiate. In the design stages of publication development, Kate was always interested in meeting our design requirements and would source further information from other colleagues as needed. In addition, Kate managed our team's wider publication schedule and was proactive in seeking updates and monitoring progress. Highly competent in her role, Kate in turn made us feel confident that any publication would be produced to a high standard once it left our team's hands. It was a pleasure to work with Kate and I hope to have this opportunity again sometime in the future.
