    Are you a robot? No? Then why publish bland, lifeless content? Humans respond to relatable writing. If you give readers copy that connects, they'll read it. Fact. I can flex my writerly muscles to help you: ––Write web copy that pops ––Craft tight, engaging blogs ––Edit novels and ebooks ––Create & improve SEO content ––Fine-tune academic & technical writing ––Guide and improve your novel (via an editorial letter) I've been writing for as long as I've been able, and my goal is merely to make the world of writing a better place. My voice is versatile, and I eat deadlines for breakfast. Let's face it: grammatical mistakes and typos make you look unprofessional, and useful information buried in boring or confusing language gets ignored. SEO is both an art form and a science, and many SEO "experts" are clueless about what makes content compelling. If you want content that flows naturally and keeps people reading, let's talk. If your work is already good but could use a little fine tuning, I've got you. Together, we can create writing that ranks-- that captivates readers and leaves them wanting more. I want to make your words sing. Let's talk about your project. ​ My areas of expertise are​ Construction & Trades, Landscape Architecture & Design, Health & Wellness, Policy & Environmental Sustainability.

    After a long career leading research, evaluation and data work in nonprofits, think tanks, government, and academia, I want to use my skills and experience to build up others’ work. I studied for my Ph.D. at UC Berkeley in organization psychology and specialized in understanding and improving team dynamics. I offer: * Research-backed approaches to team management. * Writing and editing, including academic and grant-writing. * Subject matter expertise in management, organizational psychology, or social psychology. * Research and evaluation support. * Education support (e.g., curriculum and course development) TEAM MANAGEMENT For support and expertise around team management, please see my project on Upwork. I provide training and consulting that unpacks what makes a team function as a unit and perform at its best. I use research from social psychology together with my own research on managing teams to give you insights that have been tested in real organizations. My research showed that understanding how to increase your team identity reduces biases that team members might have toward each other, resulting in better performance, more innovation, and improved communication. I can help you to understand the why and how and offer a number of approaches that will build team identity. ACADEMIC WRITING I’ve also published academic articles, served as a reviewer for journals, and produced reports for think tanks. My expertise is both in quantitative and qualitative methodologies, so I can help you with any of the elements of a report or article, including reviewing your methods, helping to interpret and explain findings, and researching and writing lit reviews. EDITING I am a meticulous and experienced editor. For over 15 years, I’ve edited public reports, academic articles (including as a peer reviewer for journals), and nonfiction books. I’ve also taught writing, so I am strict about punctuation! GRANT WRITING I had a long career in nonprofits where grant-writing was a key part of my job. I also worked in a resource development organization, writing proposals for internal contracts and grants as well as grants for clients. My most recent experience has been on the funder side which has given me a better understanding of what to focus on and how to align with funding strategies. RESEARCH AND EVALUATION Research and evaluation have been my bread and butter. I’ve always used mixed methods, combining quantitative and qualitative methodologies, so I can help with study design, methodology, surveying, conducting focus groups and interviews, data analysis, and both writing and presenting results. EDUCATION I taught organizational psychology and management to both undergrads and graduate students at UC Berkeley and the University of Nebraska. I’ve also taught little kids in a number of venues, mostly in writing and reading. As a result, I could help you with curriculum development, designing courses, creating assignments… If you are desperate, I’ll help you grade papers! I look forward to using my toolkit of skills and experiences to enhance and facilitate your work!
