Certified Proofreader Overview

Hi, I'm Natalie! I'm a detail-oriented legal transcript proofreader based in the Nashville, Tennessee area, and I'm passionate about helping court reporters deliver clean, accurate transcripts they're proud to certify.

I bring a conscientious eye for grammar, punctuation, formatting consistency, and readability. I will respect your style and voice as a reporter and understand that your transcript is your product and your reputation in which I treat every job with that in mind.

I am committed to being the kind of proofreader you can count on job after job; someone who makes your workflow easier, not more complicated. I love building long-term working relationships with reporters, and I take pride in being dependable, thorough, and easy to work with.
