If you need thesis or dissertation editing, you've come to the right place! As a faculty member, I serve on dissertation committees, and I mentor students through their research process from start to finish. This means I know what your reviewers/most committee members are looking for and can help you get there!
Though my specialty is qualitative research, I am also adept with quantitative research (note my Ph.D. is in research methods). I am here for proofreading, editing, APA formatting, and cross-checking of references. I can provide detailed feedback on the organization of your paper or dissertation to improve its coherence and flow. So, if you need strategic advice on your project or are just getting started and need guidance, I can help!
I am diligent, have an eye for detail, a high level of organization and time management, and am committed to putting meticulous effort into my work, which allows me to get the job done. I do quality work with a timely turnaround according to the urgency of the task.
I look forward to working with you!
*I am happy to provide my full resume/CV as well as personal publication/writing samples upon request.

I’m your 100% original insurance policy in a world of mediocre research. I don’t "wing it."

I have a Ph.D. in English (Rhetoric and Composition) and 25 years of experience as an academic editor and writing consultant. I work with publishing academics in a variety of disciplines: from the humanities and both the social and natural sciences (e.g., philosophy, literature, religion, archaeology, art history, political science, and engineering, to name a few).
I also frequently consult with graduate and professional students as they prepare their dissertations and theses for defense and graduate school submission. I offer a full range of dissertation coaching services, from developmental feedback to final polishing and line editing.
As an editor, in recent months, I’ve worked with several new Ph.D. s as they entered the academic job market and crafted curriculum vitae/résumés and application letters matching their own expertise with the needs of the schools advertising open faculty positions.
Highlights: expert in academic editing and proofreading with a focus on dissertations and theses, with expertise in APA and Chicago (Turabian) formats. Doctoral dissertations, theses, and academic articles and books in all stages of development. Formatting and editing; enhancing clarity and coherence; error detection; consistently delivering high-quality results under tight deadlines.
