As a versatile academic researcher and writer with extensive experience supporting diverse scholarly projects across disciplines.

I help students craft thoughtful, specific, and compelling college application essays โ€” including Common App personal statements, supplemental essays, UC PIQs, transfer essays, activity descriptions, and graduate school statements of purpose. I currently work with College Essay Guy, one of the leading U.S.-based college admissions services and one of the most prominent online resources for college essay help. Through that work and my private admissions coaching, I help students move from scattered ideas to polished essays that feel authentic, mature, and memorable. Recent student admissions outcomes include: Brown, Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Georgia Tech, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, Notre Dame, NYU, Princeton, Rice, Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC San Diego, University of Chicago, University of Michigan, University of North Carolina, University of Pennsylvania, University of Virginia, University of Wisconsin, Yale, and other highly selective universities. I can help with: โ€ข Common App personal statements โ€ข Supplemental college essays โ€ข UC Personal Insight Questions โ€ข Activity lists and honors sections โ€ข Transfer essays โ€ข Graduate school statements of purpose โ€ข Medical school personal statements โ€ข Essay brainstorming โ€ข Topic selection โ€ข Structural revision โ€ข Line editing and final polish โ€ข Parent/student strategy consultations My coaching is built around one central belief: the best admissions essays are not simply well-written. They are well-discovered. Many students begin with topics that are too broad, too rรฉsumรฉ-like, too abstract, or too familiar. I help students identify the deeper story underneath the surface: the values, tensions, relationships, intellectual interests, turning points, and patterns of growth that make an essay feel personal rather than generic. Then I help shape that material into a clear, engaging structure. Depending on where the student is in the process, I can help with: โ€ข Finding a strong essay topic โ€ข Choosing between multiple possible topics โ€ข Building a personal narrative across the application โ€ข Making supplements school-specific โ€ข Revising essays that feel flat or generic โ€ข Preserving the studentโ€™s natural voice โ€ข Strengthening openings and endings โ€ข Cutting word count without losing meaning โ€ข Making essays more reflective, specific, and memorable My background combines admissions coaching, academic writing instruction, and graduate training from the University of Chicago. I have worked with U.S. and international students across high school, undergraduate, graduate, and professional school contexts, and I am especially strong with students who are intellectually curious, interdisciplinary, reflective, or unsure how to translate their experiences into a coherent story. Students and families usually come to me when they need more than grammar correction. They need someone who can ask the right questions, see the hidden structure in a studentโ€™s experiences, and help turn raw material into essays that feel honest, polished, and strategically effective. Whether you need help with one Common App essay or a full application package, I can help you build essays that sound like you โ€” only clearer, sharper, and more complete.

I am one of the few freelancers on this platform who can walk out of an ICU, write a peer-reviewed literature review, and design a SCORM-compliant e-learning module, all at the highest professional level. 10+ Years at the Bedside. 3 Graduate Degrees. Hundreds of Deliverables Completed. REGISTERED NURSE ยท PhD IN PSYCHOLOGY ยท MASTER OF PUBLIC HEALTH ยท INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNER ยท MEDICAL & ACADEMIC WRITER This is not a combination you find often. And it is exactly what sets every deliverable I produce apart. If clinical accuracy, academic rigor, and professional quality matter to your project, you are in the right place. I specialize in medical writing, academic writing, instructional design, and curriculum development for healthcare organizations, nursing schools, universities, publishers, and e-learning companies. Every deliverable I produce is grounded in real clinical experience and backed by graduate-level research skills. My work spans medical and health content development, academic writing, manuscript writing, research and thesis support, case study writing, systematic literature reviews, research publications, academic proofreading and editing, and instructional materials design. I have written and developed hundreds of NCLEX-style questions, critical care scenarios, CEU modules, exam banks, course modules, and full curricula for nursing and allied health programs. I also bring years of experience as a research writer, dissertation editor, thesis editor, academic proofreader, and academic specialist, helping students, educators, and professionals produce polished scholarly work that meets university, clinical, and publication standards. My clinical foundation includes perioperative and critical care experience across PACU, pre-op, post-op, ICU, OB, Labor and Delivery, and Pulmonary Stepdown, supported by certifications in ACLS, BLS, PALS, TNCC, and NIH Stroke Scale, with ongoing CEUs in critical care, airway management, hemodynamics, and anesthesia concepts. This background lets me produce health and medical writing that is not only academically sound but clinically relevant, practical, and current. Medical Billing and Coding During my hospital nursing career, I worked directly with medical billing teams to ensure clinical documentation supported accurate UB-04 institutional claims. This involved ICD-10-CM/PCS coding, DRG assignments, revenue code verification, and resolving discrepancies between clinical documentation and submitted claims in compliance with Medicare and Medicaid requirements. HIPAA and Compliance My HIPAA experience is hands-on. Throughout my nursing career, I handled Protected Health Information daily, documented in compliance with HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules, and managed proper PHI handling during interdisciplinary rounds, patient handoffs, and family communications. I have applied this experience to writing compliance training content for healthcare staff, including scenario-based modules that reflect how privacy issues actually occur in clinical settings. In the academic space, I provide proofreading and editing, developmental editing, content restructuring, and formatting support using APA 7 and other academic styles. My research workflow includes critical appraisal and evidence synthesis using JBI, CASP, and PRISMA frameworks, ensuring every manuscript, thesis, SLR, or case study is well-structured and grounded in credible sources. As an instructional designer and curriculum developer, I create outcome-based learning experiences using ADDIE, Bloom's Taxonomy, and Gagnรฉ's Nine Events. My services include curriculum development, course content writing, instructional design, assessment development, eLearning content creation, LMS-ready module development, simulation design, and learner-centered academic content for nursing, allied health, and healthcare education. My technical skills include Canva, Moodle, Blackboard, Thinkific, Teachable, Google Suite, EndNote, Zotero, APA formatting, and eLearning authoring tools including Articulate Storyline and Adobe Captivate.

Iโ€™m a life sciences researcher and data analyst with an MS in Biotechnology (GPA 4.0, Florida Institute of Technology, 2026) and a BS in Biology with a minor in Animal Behavior (Indiana University, Magna Cum Laude). I build statistical workflows, analyze complex biological datasets, and write clearly for scientific audiences. During my graduate research at Florida Tech, I replaced a $1,000+/year paid data collection platform with a custom open-source R solution, designed automated field data workflows, and integrated multi-source environmental data into reproducible pipelines. As an undergraduate researcher at Indiana University, I analyzed multi-year GPS wildlife tracking datasets, cleaned long-term behavioral observation records, and built the labโ€™s first searchable specimen database from 40+ years of archival records. WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU - Statistical analysis: regression, mixed-effects models, hypothesis testing, descriptive statistics - R and Python scripting and pipeline development - Data cleaning and transformation from messy, multi-source datasets - Publication-quality visualizations with ggplot2 and matplotlib - Reproducible reporting via R Markdown and Jupyter Notebooks - Scientific writing: Methods, Results, and Discussion sections - Literature reviews, grant background sections, and lay summaries - Manuscript editing for clarity, accuracy, and journal style My background spans field ecology, molecular biology, and computational data science. I work equally well with observational biological data, commercial analytics datasets, and structured clinical data. Iโ€™m detail-oriented, deadline-driven, and used to communicating complex findings to non-specialist audiences (Iโ€™ve taught college biology). Whether you need a quick data clean-up or a full analysis pipeline with a written report, I can help. Message me with what youโ€™re working on. I reply within 24 hours.
