Proofreading is second nature to me; I do it without thinking. No matter what I'm reading, if there's a typo, I will catch it, even if I wasn't looking for it. Words are patterns, and typos are a break in the pattern that I find difficult to overlook. Once, working on a book, I even proofread a quotation in French, a language which I do not speak - but I know the patterns of language, and I knew that the pattern was wrong. I have over 10 years of professional experience working with academic books, academic journals, magazines, poetry, and short fiction. I have a keen eye for detail - no typo escapes my notice! In addition, I specialize in quick turnaround times: If you want something edited fast and edited well, I'm the one for you.

I earned my J.D. from Villanova University School of Law and after three years of practicing law I chose to pursue a career in medicine. I am currently a medical student at Thomas Jefferson University and anticipate graduating in 2026. Although my career changed, my interest in research and academic writing remained in both fields. In law, I was a published author in Villanova’s Environmental Law Journal and was an acknowledged contributor on faculty articles. I also acted as an editor on the journal selecting, reviewing, and editing articles submitted for publication. After law school, I pursued business and tax law, focusing on tax policy research and editing blog posts on the most recent tax policy changes. Now that I have transitioned into health and science, I have assist laboratory research and article editing for students pursuing their Ph.D., as well as faculty publications. I have been a clinical research coordinator and research assistant, reviewing medical records and contributing to medical research publications. With this background, I have developed advanced skills in academic writing, editing, and preparation of both articles and application materials that span across multiple industries.

Do you need someone to double-check your work to ensure accuracy and coherence? Or maybe English isn't your first language, and you'd like to have your work polished up to sound as if was written by a native speaker? Either way, you've come to the right place! I have a keen eye for typos and mistakes, and a refined ability to improve the overall flow of your work. My default is American English, but I'm happy to work in different styles (such as British English) or follow a set style guide. I hold a B.A. and an M.Sc in Environmental Science and have worked with several NGOs before moving abroad to pursue my passion of travel full-time. In 2015, I began working in the ESL field with students looking to improve their academic writing and study for exams such as TOEFL and IELTS. From there, my work took me to higher education and I started working at a university in Turkey as an English Instructor. Now, I am doing freelance editing and wholeheartedly enjoy it! I am available for quick turnaround projects. All editing and proofreading work is completed using track changes in either Word or Google Docs for your reference. What sort of projects do I work on? • Academic work As an instructor, I’ve helped with a multitude of Master’s and Ph.D. proposals, theses, and dissertations. I am very familiar with science topics as well as International Relations but also have experience with fields such as Law, Business, and Engineering. For those whom English is not their first language, I also specialize in refining your writing to sound more native-like and can easily paraphrase to avoid plagiarism. Available to format for several referencing styles including Harvard, Chicago, MLA, and APA referencing. • English tutoring This is the foundation that I’ve built my career on. My passion lies in helping others refine their English skills for school, work, or personal interests. I’ll work with you to tailor lessons to your needs and goals in reading, writing, listening, and/or speaking. All materials are provided with the course and conducted via Zoom. • School Application essays Are you applying for college or a postgraduate program? I have years of experience assisting students with their personal statements, SOPs, and motivation letters to complement their applications. With a bit of magic, I can transform your draft into a captivating essay that is sure to catch the admissions committee’s attention. Also, as an instructor at a university, I’ve helped with the selection process by reviewing applicant essays so I am well aware of what schools are looking for in these submissions. • Copy editing/proofreading Though the bulk of my work has come from academia, I also enjoy projects outside of this including copy editing and proofreading for company websites, blogs, and books. I can ensure that your work is completely error-free while maintaining your own individual voice in the text. • Cover letters and CVs As my students and clients have moved into the workforce, I’ve helped them build stunning resumes and provided cover letter templates for their future careers. Using keywords related to your industry and buzzwords, I’ll polish up your resume to ensure a call back for an interview!

Hi there! I'm a current medical school student at Penn Med with extensive experience in college application counseling, tutoring, proofreading, editing, and writing. During my time at Williams College, I provided college advising to four high schoolers throughout their entire college application cycle, successfully supporting them in matriculating into excellent four-year colleges. I also tutored peers in chemistry and biology. During my gap years between college and medical school, I worked in medical journalism, writing over 500 articles on medical advances and editing hundreds of coworkers' articles. I will apply these professional and volunteering experiences, as well as my only learnings from my medical school and college application cycles, to editing your essays, providing you with feedback, and supporting your application to college or grad school. I'm also happy to apply these skills to editing resumes and cover letters.
