It is lovely to meet you, and I am keen to help with all research, writing, and editorial needs. I am especially interested in helping to tell personal stories. I am an historian by both training and profession. For two decades, I have studied legal, political, and rhetorical histories, and I have often used biography as a lens into these. I have decided to bring this experience to Upwork in order to better serve people who wish to write about their lives and world. In this process of my research, I have worked with families and individuals to help them tell their stories, often including difficult retelling. I excel in helping the individual story to shine while also contextualizing it within a bigger picture. My additional strengths lie in research and argument crafting, as well as all stages of the writing process--from drafts to writing to copy-editing and proofreading. Much of my work has focused on telling and helping to tell very personal and often sensitive stories.

My experience includes planning and leading international study opportunities, and I hope to bring these travel planning skills to my Upwork clients.
