My name is Christina Petrides and I run Last Glance. Not that long ago I swapped my high heels for sneakers and my London Oyster card for a backpack to work freelance and travel the world.
I had enough of commuting and sitting in an office. Since we can work from anywhere nowadays, I quit the office job and left London to work while I travel. This way I can spend my spare time seeing more of the world, which in turn motivates me to get to work every day. My article for the CIEP proofreading my way around the world tells the story of how it all came together.
My skills and experience
I worked in the environmental sector for over 20 years. During that time I have drafted, edited and reviewed over 350 large multi-author documents to comply with international standards or UK planning regulations.
Using those skills, I transitioned into editing and writing, setting up Last Glance. You can find full details on the services page and also take a look to see what clients say.
My writing and editing services include copy and content writing, copyediting and proofreading for web and print. I work on corporate communications materials as well as academic papers for publication, dissertations and theses.
My expertise lies in the environmental field, and I bring a skilled eye to your technical or corporate reports that you may not find elsewhere.
