Sherry Parks
I am the older sister and live in the Metro Detroit area. I have been an elementary educator for 22 years. My passions include spending time with my family, working in my yard, walking, and reading. This love for reading and language started at an early age and was the reason I enrolled in, and passed, the General Proofreading: Theory & Practice course by Proofread Anywhere. This, in turn, has been the spark that ignited this new passion to help others make their writing stand out.
Leslie Gerth
I’m the younger sister. I live in beautiful northern Michigan. I have been an elementary teacher for 15 years. I love spending time with my family, exploring the small towns, lakes, and trails of “Up North” Michigan, and gardening. Reading and the study of language have always been of great interest to me and have led me to a degree in English Linguistics and also to successfully complete the General Proofreading: Theory & Practice course by Proofread Anywhere. I enjoy the technical aspect of language and helping others perfect their own writing.
