The best part of my work has always been the people. After seven years working across nonprofit, healthcare, and public sector environments, I've built the skills to help organizations and the teams behind them run better, genuinely. I've worked directly with clients and communities in high-pressure environments, which means I know how to communicate clearly, stay organized under pressure, and get things done without a lot of hand-holding. On the administrative side, I handle executive calendars, meeting facilitation, agenda development, action item tracking, and day-to-day coordination that keeps leadership teams moving. On the operations side, I build SOPs, organize systems, and create the structure that makes teams more consistent and easier to manage. I'm also comfortable working with data, tracking KPIs, building reports, and turning numbers into something leadership can actually use. What sets me apart is that I've done this work across nonprofit, healthcare, and public sector environments, and I've spent my career working directly with the people these organizations serve. I understand the mission side of this work, not just the administrative side, and that makes me a more thoughtful partner for any organization that cares about its community. I'm available Fridays, weekends, and weekday evenings, and I bring the same level of professionalism and care to freelance work that I bring to my full-time role. If you need someone organized, proactive, and genuinely invested in helping your operation run better, I'd love to work with you.

I spent 10 years as an ocean geochemical researcher and laboratory manager after getting two degrees in biochemistry and anthropology. All of these might seem disconnected, but data analysis is the common thread of my educational and professional experience. I recently completed the Google Data Analytics Certificate to bring more order and business understanding to my scientific experience. Even before my certification, I had experience in collecting, transforming, and organizing data for analysis, especially using spreadsheets. Now I have additional experience in understanding the different platforms for data analysis, such as SQL, Tableau, and R, to hone my data analysis experience even further. Separate from my data analysis experience, I am an avid reader and puzzler with experience and passion for providing feedback on both.

Your story deserves a skilled partner who understands both craft and market. With specialized training in developmental editing and a writer's perspective, I help authors level up their manuscripts while preserving their unique voice. As a certified developmental editor (Editorial Freelancers Association), I've mastered both theoretical frameworks and practical applications of story craft. My training covers advanced techniques in narrative structure, character development, and author collaboration, ensuring I can help you transform your creative vision into a compelling, publishable work. I specialize in science fiction, fantasy, and broader speculative fiction genres, bringing both technical expertise and genre understanding to every project. As an active writer myself—self-publishing stories and consistently submitting to literary magazine—I understand the challenges and aspirations of authors at every stage of their journey. Beyond developmental editing, I also offer: *BETA READING AND MANUSCRIPT EVALUATION SERVICES:* Detailed reader feedback focusing on level of reader engagement, pacing, and emotional impact. My reports highlight both strengths and areas for improvement, giving you clear direction for revisions. *GHOSTWRITING:* Collaborative story development and writing services that capture your vision while meeting professional standards. Whether you need a short story or full manuscript, I'll help bring your ideas to life. *WRITER’S ASSISTANT SERVICES:* Ongoing virtual assistance and support throughout your writing process, including: • Brainstorming and plot development • Research assistance • Progress accountability • Feedback on works-in-progress • Query letter and synopsis review My approach combines rigorous analysis with supportive guidance. I believe every manuscript has potential, and my role is to help you realize that potential while maintaining your unique voice and vision. I continue to invest in my professional development through advanced courses and industry engagement, ensuring my clients benefit from current best practices in both craft and market expectations. Available for both one-time projects and ongoing collaborations, I pride myself on clear communication, meeting deadlines, and delivering thorough, actionable feedback that moves your project forward. Let's discuss how I can help strengthen your story and prepare it for success in today's competitive market.
