I have a golden retriever personality, and I love being with people. I enjoy talking to people from different backgrounds, and my previous work experience in a retail pharmacy has honed my sensitivity towards picking up on cultural nuances in conversations with others. And sometimes, I just love to meet a friendly face :) One of my strong suits is academic writing, ranging from proofreading to crafting research papers. I've worked as a student editor for the legal journal while getting my degree in Law at university. In my previous workspaces as a research consultant, I have developed the ability to quickly familiarise myself with the jargon of any industry, to create critiques, or help edit and improve the scholarly voice or prose of any writing piece.

I am a writer/editor and voice-over artist, available to work in both areas. As a writer and editor, I have over 15 years' experience working independently for agencies and private clients and as a company employee. I hold a PhD in Comparative Literature from Brown University and have proficiency in over eight languages, including fluency in English, German, Italian, and Spanish. My writing has covered everything from B2B and B2C marketing copy, business blogs, and technical guides to poetry, literary criticism, philosophy, and pedagogy. My experience as an editor is equally varied, ranging from science-news articles, medical guides, and grant applications, to prose fiction, AI-generated copy, newscast transcriptions, and university papers. As a voice actor, I have less professional experience but make up for this with extensive skills in lecturing, public speaking, performance poetry, and character impersonation. Reading my own poems in particular has given me an exceptional understanding of rhythm and pacing, as well as clear enunciation and projection.
