I proofread letters and other content for accuracy and grammar to be distributed to thousands of individuals attending a national Baptist Convention in June. I also typed and made accurate detailed lists of more than 80 different classes with different professors for the convention to be printed in a convention brochure. The job was important to ensure that the publishing company continued to have a reputation of having accurate and informative content for its' customers and clients.
