  1. Leanne, to improve your About Me page, complete a thorough proofing and editing job, looking for errors in grammar, punctuation, AP style, etc. For instance, I spotted the following items that need correction or improvement:

    1. Structure. Read the first sentence: "Leanne Ockenden is ... currently living enrolled in her first year." Which is it, living or enrolled?

    2. Degrees. Refer to the "academic degrees" section of the AP style manual and correct the capitalization and possessive 'S errors in your degree title.

    3. Titles. Only capitalize formal titles, with formal meaning the title precedes the name to create a proper noun, as in Director of Basketball Operations Leanne Ockenden. For informal titles, lower case, as in Leanne Ockenden, director of basketball operations. See “titles” in the APA manual.

    4. Numbers. Spell out numbers less than 10.

    Apply this feedback to your other pages, as well.
