【Relevant Project Experience】
Created prompts for a consumer-facing AI platform based on different task categories, evaluated AI-generated outputs against structured rubrics, and helped refine rubric rules to improve clarity and consistency.
Completed AI language-data annotation tasks, including transcript alignment, subtitle accuracy checking, speaker-role labeling, emotional-tone annotation, and quality assurance.
Organized and documented materials from multiple university-level online courses, creating clear folder structures and an index spreadsheet so resources could be located and used efficiently.
Conducted literature reviews, qualitative coding, quantitative analysis, and cross-cultural thematic analysis as part of postgraduate and doctoral research.
Worked with bilingual Chinese-English interview data, including transcription, translation, organization, and analysis.
【What I Can Support】
I can assist with AI response evaluation, prompt and rubric review, research assistance, literature reviews, online research, educational content development, academic writing support, data annotation, information organization, course-material documentation, translation, transcript review, and subtitle checking.
I am comfortable working independently in remote environments, following detailed guidelines, managing large volumes of information, and delivering structured, accurate, and practical outputs on time.

Need a thesis, dissertation, academic document, or research manuscript that is clear, polished, consistent, and professionally proofread, edited, and formatted?
I help undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, and academics improve the quality and presentation of their academic work through careful academic proofreading, editing, APA 7th edition formatting, and research manuscript editing.
I am a doctoral researcher and Graduate Teaching Assistant at the University of Auckland, working in a university research and teaching environment. My academic background has given me a strong understanding of scholarly writing, research terminology, evidence-based communication, and the standards expected in higher education.
What I can help you with:
Academic Proofreading & Editing
Grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure
Clarity, readability, and academic tone
Consistency in terminology, style, and formatting
Identification of awkward or unclear wording
Careful editing while preserving your original meaning and voice
APA 7th Edition Formatting
Title pages and headings
In-text citations
Reference lists
Tables and figures
Page numbers, margins, spacing, and paragraph formatting
APA heading hierarchy and document structure
Citation and reference consistency
Thesis & Dissertation Support
Undergraduate dissertations and final-year projects
Master's theses
PhD theses and dissertations
Chapter-level proofreading and formatting
References, tables, figures, appendices, and overall document consistency
Microsoft Word formatting and document cleanup
Research Manuscript Editing
Journal articles
Research papers
Academic manuscripts
Conference papers
Research reports
Manuscripts requiring APA 7 formatting and polishing
I also work confidently with Microsoft Word editing tools, including Track Changes, comments, Styles, heading structures, page and section breaks, tables, figures, captions, cross-references, and document formatting.
My approach is careful, transparent, and detail-oriented. I do not simply run a document through automated software and return it. I review the work in context, make appropriate corrections, and use Track Changes and comments where helpful so you can see and evaluate significant revisions.
My goal is to help you submit academic work that is clear, professional, consistent, and well presented, while ensuring that the ideas and scholarly contribution remain yours.
Whether you are an undergraduate preparing an assignment or dissertation, a master's student completing a thesis, a PhD researcher preparing a dissertation, or an academic preparing a manuscript for publication, I can provide focused editorial and formatting support tailored to your document.
Send me your document type, approximate word count, required style guide, and deadline, and I can assess the scope of the work.
I deliberately made this credible rather than exaggerated. Upwork recommends a clear, client-focused overview, a specific title, relevant skills, and truthful representation of experience; it also allows employment history such as student and academic roles to contribute to credibility.

• Rugby
• Tennis
• Cricket
• MMA
• Football
• Boxing
Over the past 13 years, I’ve collaborated with dozens of businesses to write millions of words. From working with big corporates like Deloitte and Vodafone, through to ghostwriting for industry leaders and being published in over 300 websites and magazines, I've done the lot.
Specifically, you can find my work on iGaming websites such as:
• TennisMajors
• BettingTop10
• MrFixitsTips
• TennisNerd
• NYFights
• BetZillion
• Bookmaker-Info
• MyBettingAustralia
• BettingPlanet
But there’s one thing missing from this list… YOU!
Choose to work with me, and I guarantee:
• Excellence in execution and service
