Description of services: From August 1990 to September 2011 I was a full-time indexer with the Australian legal publishing firm CCH. I worked on an extensive range of loose-leaf reporters and books across the following subjects: Workers Compensation, Taxation, Occupational Health and Safety, Employment Law, and Superannuation. I created various types of indexes, such as topical indexes (both commentary and legislation), case tables and section finding lists. I have started my own freelance business in October 2011, and have worked for Thomsons Reuters, another Australian legal publishing firm. I am thorough, diligent, with an eye for accuracy and detail. I have excellent time management skills and ensure that all jobs are completed in line with deadlines.
