Whether you're just beginning to perform research or polishing your final draft, I'm confident in my ability to meaningfully contribute to your success. My own research has been published in peer-reviewed journals and I have experience assisting countless academics in getting their work to press. Effective scientific communication can be hard to get perfect, but together we'll make sure your research has the greatest impact possible. Personally, I am an anthropologist with significant qualitative research experience in both academia and industry. While the social sciences will always hold a soft spot in my heart, I also have plenty of experience working with clients from a wide range of disciplines, including medicine, business, and the lab sciences. In my experience, "non-experts" often catch writing issues that those within a discipline can overlook. The best way to improve readability, clarity, and the strength of an argument is to have a fresh set of eyes take a look. Not an academic? No worries! I'm also happy to lend a helping hand to other forms of writing, from college essays to website content. While my own interests may leave me stuck in an ivory tower forever, the writing and research skills I've developed along the way are applicable to endless fields and topics. I have a particularly strong background in editing application essays, ranging from prospective university students to medical school applicants.
