"Dr. Poff is the consummate professional." "Her profile matched her performance. If you're thinking about using her... stop thinking... start using!" Long-term editing clients include researchers at Harvard Medical Center, a small group of United Nations ambassadors and peace keepers, and professors around the United States. With 3 language-related degrees, 2 with a focus on instructional design, and 25+ years of professional experience, I am an optimal choice for all of your writing-related, instructional, and research needs. Editing and academic editing, writing and ghostwriting, full books and short articles, even legal documents--all fall within my areas of expertise. I also design courses in any area, and support research projects in any discipline. My education includes BA in English UC Berkeley, MA in Linguistics & Teaching Portland State University, PhD in Communication University of Washington. Two of these are top-twenty schools, so my academic training is top-notch. Editing & Writing: I have been working with texts my entire career--editing, proofreading, writing. My academic work at the graduate and professional levels has all involved achieving mastery of written communication and improving writing for greater impact to target audiences. My doctoral expertise lies in argumentation, written organization, and underlying communication messages within verbal and visual texts. I also develop and edit successful grant proposals. As an editor, I polish your work so that your essential arguments shine through clearly and strongly. I examine texts at deep levels to ensure solid structure and organization of information, argument quality and clarity, optimal vocabulary usage, clear phrasing, and of course proper grammar and spelling. Many of my clients are university researchers--professors and grad students--whose work I polish prior to the evaluation process. My knowledge of academic article and dissertation/thesis writing is very strong, as I have worked on more than 100 academic papers at various stages. As a writer, I deliver high-quality, well-organized, well-articulated, well-written documents, books and articles. Give me some direction on source information, and I will write solid pieces for you. I write on any topic, helping all clients achieve clearer, stronger, and more impactful written materials. I happily work with your subject matter experts (SMEs) and cultivate high-quality written materials. I also served as Managing Editor for a lifestyle magazine for a short time, where I also wrote many pieces, and currently write two columns for a lifestyle magazine. Instructional design: Both graduate programs, MA and PhD, involved solid training on instructional design. I have designed courses in the public and private sectors for 20 years and taught in the university and corporate classrooms for 15 years. While teaching, my courses were evaluated quarterly by supervisors and students, and always received very high marks. I have developed an intuitive sense for how to package and present material for optimal learning. I work with ADDIE and Blooms, along with the lesser-known but incisive cognitive load management. I can create any supplemental materials, assessment tools, and detailed lesson plans so that you can give the material to any competent instructor and the class will be the same across sections. Research: Trained in both quantitative and many qualitative research methods, I can assist (or lead) research projects. My skills include survey design and analysis, experimental design, and nearly all types of qualitative design and analytical methods. I provide knowledgeable, professional support for your research project. Then, I can help you with writing it up if you like. Since 2012, I have been offering my services in the private sector through Upwork (formerly eLance). It is an honor and a privilege to extend my skills and expertise to those in this space looking for some support in the areas of writing, editing, instructional design, and investigative research. When your needs call for any of these skills or especially a combination of these skills, I am your best choice. Mensa member (inactive) Currently seeking long-term contract(s) in addition to the short-term ones I happily work with. Thank you for reading and for your consideration. Let's chat about how I can help you meet your needs. Please direct message me for best results.

I'm a native English speaker with a previous history of many prescriptive linguistic tendencies, and a current student of Applied Linguistics currently unlearning those habits in most contexts! However, I hope to put them to some use by way of proofreading, since writers still prefer a more "formal" writing style in many contexts. I can also help tutor for English at any level or German at more basic levels (A2 CEFR or below, roughly). Finally, I'm a skilled typist, averaging 85-100 WPM with 95-100% accuracy on most typing tests, and would be open to such things as transcription and data entry.
