"Jennifer is a phenomenal grant editor, and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her. Even with a tight deadline, she expertly transformed my specific aims page into a much more compelling and organized document. She took the time to immerse herself into my research area and ensure she really understood the grant I am applying for. I couldn't recommend her enough and absolutely will work with her again in the future."

"Thank you, Deana! I look forward to working with you again! "

"Jenn was amazing to work with from start to finish. She went above and beyond to truly understand the subject which was evident in the final paper. She thought of potential pitfalls that only an experienced writer would know, and she shared ways to strengthen the overall messaging and process. Her communication and timely responses greatly exceeded my expectations!"

"Jennifer is absolutely phenomenal! Not only was she fully capable of completing my project to its exact specs, she went further by asking pertinent questions and proposing additional solutions that significantly added value to the final product. In addition to strong research and analytical skills, Jennifer is an excellent communicator. She works very well on a team, and leading a team (as she did for us). Her writing skills are superb. She has significant experience editing professional scientific papers for publication and she did a fantastic job completing our final research report. I actively hire professionals from Upwork on a regular basis, but it I can tell you it is rare to find a freelancer with the broad range of talents that Jennifer possesses. At the time of this review, Jennifer is relatively "new" to Upwork, but I can attest that she is, without a doubt, in the top 1% of her field in her ability to research, organize, write, and edit. She will quickly rise to the top. Therefore, I highly recommend her for a broad range of services including research, writing, and editing. I will definitely keep her on my short list of experts and will be hiring her again."
