I have been in 台湾 for 20 years teaching at colleges in the 
苗栗and 新竹 area.

I had jobs with Express Translation Services in 2014 and 2015, 
doing work which was apparently appreciated.

As you can see from my resume, I worked for 10 years copyediting 
at the Korea Times (http://www.koreatimes.co.kr), one of the 2 
major English-language daily newspapers in Korea.

My editing skills are in the social sciences, statistical 
reasoning and computer science, but I like working in the 
physical sciences and engineering areas also.

To describe my strengths:

I believe i) my superior English language skills (see my GRE 
scores in the resume), ii) the care with which I express myself 
for the benefit of non-native speakers, and iii) my desire to 
understand even poorly-expressed material allow me to do an 
excellent job, both translating and copyediting.

I'm attaching 2 files showing work I did on an article about an 
experimental creativity enhancement intervention.

I'm also including a resume. A longer curriculum vitae is available on 
my web page, at http://drbean.sdf.org.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
