After graduating from Trinity University with a degree in English, I moved to New York City to attend the NYU Summer Publishing Institute. I worked in the publishing industry for nearly three years before deciding to pursue a career in law. I'm currently attending the University of Georgia School of Law. Reading and writing has always been my number one passion in life. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to edit short stories, applications, and self-published works for friends and family while also working on my own creative writing.

I’m a writer and editor with a background in academic, scientific, and creative writing. Whether you are looking for feedback and revisions on the latest draft of your novel or the manuscript for your next scientific publication, I’d be happy to help! SCIENCE AND ACADEMIC WRITING* I have a passion for all forms of science communication, whether it is a prospectus, manuscript, or grant proposal designed to be read by fellow scientists or an article, blog post, or podcast meant to make science more accessible to the general public. Everyone deserves access to science, regardless of their background and I can help you make sure your project reaches your intended audience! My academic and science writing services include editing, proofreading, fact checking, research assistance. I can also help with abstract writing and addressing reviewer comments. I have experience tailoring format and citations to many different journal specifications and citation styles. I am excited to now extend my services to include scientific posters and presentations! I am skilled in balancing layouts with the appropriate ratio of text to visuals, which will help your poster stand out from across a symposium. I can help make your presentations both memorable and effective at communicating your findings. With my background in scientific illustration, I can also help you develop new, original graphics. I’ve found that this is especially for research on topics that are hard to visualize or photograph. In addition to academic writing, I can assist you with professional writing such as resumes, CVs, cover letters, memos, and presentations. CREATIVE WRITING* I have experience editing short stories, poetry, narrative nonfiction, screenplays, and novels. If you need your project proofread and edited or if you are looking for more conceptual help to map out your story, I can be of assistance. I love reading many genres of fiction, but I’m particularly drawn to science fiction, fantasy, mystery, and romance. I especially love helping sci-fi authors ensure that their science is accurate to the level of realism that is right for their project. ABOUT MY BACKGROUND My background as a scientist is primarily in the life and social sciences, but I have been involved in many interdisciplinary projects in the past! My main research passion is in studying the social systems of fishes on coral reefs, but I’ve worked on projects involving entomology (the study of insects), primate behavior, conservation and sustainability, and marine microbiology! I’ve detailed my experience-levels in different fields or science below. This is not an exhaustive list, so feel free to reach out for inquiries not included here! PROFICIENT (I can provide all listed services at a professional/graduate level) - Ecology (sub-disciplines: General, Behavioral, Sensory, Evolutionary, Movement, Organismal, Population, Community, Ecosystem) - Marine Biology and Ichthyology - Biology (sub-disciplines: General, Marine, Aquatic, Zoology, Conservation, Physiology, Microbiology) - Biological Anthropology (sub-disciplines: Primatology, Ethnoprimatology) - Animal Behavior and Cognition - Psychology - Taxonomy (primarily Ichthyology) - Environmental Science and Sustainability EXPERIENCED (I can provide listed services at least at an undergraduate level) - Biology (Botany, Entomology, Mycology, Paleontology, Cellular Biology) - Cultural or Social Anthropology - Geology - Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry - Physics *Academic Honesty, AI Use, and Plagiarism Statements: I am happy to assist current students with projects and coursework as long as it is not in violation of your institution’s Academic Honesty Policy to do so. I trust my clients’ integrity so there is no required supplementary proof. All work that I am hired to produce is my own and will not be done so with the use of plagiarism, AI, or other language and/or learning models. I will not reuse any work I produced for other clients, nor will I reuse the work I produce for you. This helps ensure that no one is mistakenly flagged for plagiarism by detection software.
