I have garnered 4.5 years of professional writing experience, earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Northwestern University, hold a master’s degree in education, and maintain a 100% job success rate.
I have written and edited countless articles and blog posts for prominent websites, including:
- BetterHelp (Domain Rating 83)
- SocialSelf (Domain Rating 59)
- Montessori by Mom (Domain Rating 28)
Most of my professional writing experience has involved researching psychology topics in databases and then creating readable, actionable articles that empower readers to improve their mental health. I've also created comprehensive virtual courses based on social psychology principles, as well as warm, light-hearted blog posts about being a mom.
If you’re considering working together, you’d probably like to know a bit of my history. Who am I? What would I bring to your team? What is it like to work with me?
Hi! I’m Brandi. It’s great to meet you. I love children, animals, and nice people. I’m passionate about psychology, mental health, education practices, and parenting. After earning my psychology degree at Northwestern, I volunteered in the U.S. Peace Corps in rural South Africa for over two years. In the Peace Corps, I worked with village schools to update teaching practices. I also played a key role in helping a village create a small chicken business to improve students’ nutrition and generate income.
After completing my 27-month term in the Peace Corps, I taught preschool in Hawaii, then taught in the Cleveland Clinic Lerner School for Autism in Cleveland, Ohio. I’ve settled in the Cleveland area, where I’ve combined my interests in psychology and education as a professional writer.
When we work together, I will:
- create polished, accurate content
- match your voice and tone
- incorporate keywords seamlessly
- meet deadlines consistently
My writing hours are:
Monday 10-1 EST
Tuesday-Friday 9-1 EST
My rate is $0.20 per word for new articles, or $0.04 per word to edit existing content.
If you’re looking for a team player with a professional, eager-to-please attitude, tell me about your project! If we’re a match, I can begin immediately!

As an Educational Psychologist (M.Ed.) and Fractional Learning Architect, I specialize in high-stakes assessment, psychometrics, and program evaluation. In a landscape where AI can quickly generate generic content, proving that training actually drives cognitive and behavioral change is the real challenge. I bridge the gap between complex information and learning, ensuring your educational products are not just delivered, but measurably effective.
For enterprise organizations, non-profit boards, and fast-growing platforms looking to optimize existing assets or scale rapidly, I provide high-level strategic consulting and rapid-turnaround architecture across:
• Psychometrics & High-Stakes Assessment: Engineering cognitive measurement tools, competency models, and pre-employment testing rubrics that withstand regulatory and academic scrutiny.
• Continuing Medical Education (CME) & Evidence Translation: Translating complex clinical research across psychiatry, oncology, and infectious diseases (including HIV, Crohn's disease, and diabetes) into compliant, highly measurable digital learning ecosystems.
• Program Evaluation & Impact Strategy: Designing logic models, managing survey lifecycles, and building rigorous data validation frameworks to prove outcome efficacy.
• Curriculum Audits & Compliance Reviews: Transitioning complex programs into optimized asynchronous Courseware as Code environments while ensuring strict educational privacy compliance.
My hands-on execution spans the clinical, corporate, and education sectors:
• Engineered and evaluated auto-scored cognitive measurement tools for Indeed, utilized by hundreds of thousands of global job seekers.
• Evaluated and optimized Microsoft's Courseware as Code environments to support the global upskilling of enterprise technical partners.
• Directed strategic R&D and authored published academic research for Wellbotics to formally validate cognitive and instructional methodologies.
• Architected adaptive behavioral tracking systems and immersive CME programs for EDUmotion, closing critical knowledge gaps for an audience of 100,000+ clinicians.
Whether you need a rapid feasibility study for a grant proposal, a compliant learning needs analysis, or a fractional strategist to steer your institutional effectiveness, I provide the structural architecture and the hands-on execution to get it done right.
