- Proofreading: Reading a nearly finished document and correcting it for typos and other minor errors.
Over the course of a year, Adina edited my entire dissertation from Introduction to Conclusion. She made grammar edits and advised me on structure while giving me the space to speak as the expert on my topic . . . I wouldn't have been able to finish my dissertation without Adina!" -- Lisa
