Expert vetted social science researcher with over 20 years of experience. I look forward to supporting your research and writing projects. My Ph.D. is in social work, and I have an MA in public policy, and a BA in political science. My publications include nine peer-reviewed academic journal articles and a book on adoption. I specialize in social science data analysis (mainly using SPSS), evaluation, instrument development, literature reviews, report writing, article writing, web content writing, and more. My key areas of interest include mental health, child welfare, and spirituality but I am also interested in and knowledgeable about politics and government, sociology, social policy, poverty, substance misuse, and gender equality. Projects I enjoy working on include peer reviewed journal articles, federal funding proposals, articles for the general public, and white papers. I am open to working on a wide range of short-term and longer-term projects. I enjoy working with people from a wide variety of academic and cultural backgrounds; knowledge sharing and support are always a top priority. There are a few things I DO NOT do including write sections of theses or dissertations. That is called plagiarism. I also DO NOT ghost write. My fees are flexible for nonprofits.

I love coding and analyzing qualitative data. I have served as Research Associate and Project Manager for 17 domestic and international research projects on gender based violence. I specialize in instrument and protocol development, trauma informed data collection, content analysis, grounded theory and thematic analysis approaches, as well as writing literature reviews. I have coded hundreds of interviews, agency meeting notes, service case notes, and other data. I have a passion for synthesizing information and writing and presenting research findings in a manner that is clear and understandable to all audiences. I have extensive experience drafting reports, manuscripts, recommendations, briefs, presentations, and tool kits for various audiences such as government agencies, academia, social services, law enforcement, and local and international non-governmental organizations.

I have over 15 years of experience editing and writing academic and nonfiction work, and I have worked on over 30 projects here on Upwork. I am extremely detail-oriented, so if you need a thorough copyedit or formatting, I am happy to help with that. But, I can also go deeper—improving clarity, consistency, word choice, and overall flow. For academic work, I can also help you to ascertain whether your arguments are clear and compelling, your theoretical foundation is solid, your methods are clearly articulated, and your findings and conclusion are drawing out your results compellingly. Having done research and nonfiction editing outside of academia, I can also help you to translate complex information into accessible content for a broad audience. My usual flow is that I do proofreading edits as I go (grammar, punctuation, typos, sentence structure...), but I usually leave any feedback that I have on the content, structure, clarity, or flow (anything substantive) in comments. Sometimes I'll suggest some wording in the comment but leave it to you to see if you like it. This preserves your voice and viewpoint while also supporting you. On the other hand, I'm willing to dig in do all of the edits if you prefer. You can also count on me for professional, low-friction collaboration. I communicate clearly, meet deadlines, and make the process smooth and efficient. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your project—or you want a true thought partner to help strengthen your work—feel free to reach out. I've got you! Here are some of my recent reviews: "Working with Rebecca on my dissertation was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Her communication was exemplary; she was responsive, clear, and always kept me in the loop throughout the editing process. What really set Rebecca apart was her willingness to go above and beyond. She didn't just edit for grammar and structure; she brought a level of care and attention to my dissertation that made a genuine difference to the final result. The quality of her work was fantastic, and the whole process was completely seamless; no stress, no surprises, just professional, high-quality editing delivered exactly when I needed it... She's the best in the business." "Rebecca was an absolute pleasure to work with. I truly appreciated her keen attention to detail, she caught numerous writing inconsistencies that I had completely overlooked, which significantly strengthened the overall quality of my work. She was also incredibly diligent and respectful of my tight timeline, delivering high-quality edits without sacrificing thoroughness. I would absolutely work with her again and plan to rebook for future chapters. " "Rebecca has been working as a Thought Leadership Reviewer with my team, and she has been an excellent addition to our project... She collaborated closely with another member of our team and was incredibly easy to work with, their partnership was seamless and productive. Overall, she brought both rigor and professionalism to the project, and I would absolutely recommend her for similar work." "Rebecca helped us with our research manuscript. She identified multiple remaining issue and provided guidance towards clarifying visuals. She worked very fast, and provided comprehensive feedback. I am happy to come back to you in future!"

AI-Assisted Writing & Analysis I also work with AI-generated content, helping refine structure, improve clarity, and ensure that outputs are analytically sound and aligned with the client’s voice and goals. This includes AI content editing and what is often described as “AI humanizing” — revising generated text so it reads naturally, avoids repetitive or formulaic phrasing, and reflects a more authentic and credible voice. If you’re looking for someone who can engage deeply with your research — not just edit text, but help you think through it, analyze it, and develop it — feel free to reach out.

Ph.D., Organizational Psychology. TEDx speaker featured on TED’s homepage. Talent, Organizational Development, and Survey specialist. I have 7+ years of experience working in talent and organizational development, though many of the skills I developed came from my 7 previous years in marketing. My goal is to leverage science and research to help you achieve your goals in a clear and applicable way. Within the past couple of years, I've worked on projects for Accenture within their career architecture, assessment, and recruiting teams. I have also worked on projects for Johnson & Johnson, McGill University, Yaamava (previously San Manuel) Casino, Denny's, Teachable, and Workboard, among others. I hold a Ph.D. and MA in Organizational Psychology from Claremont Graduate University and a BA in English and Consumer Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. I am here to offer evidence-based solutions and help you achieve your goals. Some of my skills and work experiences include: • Conducting and analyzing survey data (using an array of survey software programs and analyzing data via R or Excel) • Interviewing and leading focus groups (and using qualitative thematic analysis to derive relevant and actionable themes) • Assessing/developing leadership and employees (engagement, wellbeing, strengths, burnout, etc.) • Spearheading program evaluations (using an array of methods, including but not limited to document/website review, surveys, interviews, observations) • Creating workshops • Drafting powerpoints • Writing reports • Speaking and educational engagements (keynotes, trainings, workshops, webinars, etc.) I am visually oriented and geared to make information easy to digest, so I will make sure that your solutions target your intended audience. About me: I initially pursued a career in marketing. I worked as a strategy consultant in healthcare, then pivoted into a tech innovation startup specializing in AI-driven, gamified e-commerce products. After 7 years of marketing in NYC, even in a director role, I realized that while I still loved business and psychology, and I very much loved my current job, I just wasn’t interested in selling products. Call me naive and idealistic, but I wanted to make an imprint on people's lives and help make the world a better place by creating a less stressed/burnt-out workforce. I envision a world where people thrive at their work, finding it engaging and energizing, and I want to help companies create the optimal space to make that a reality. To that end, I shifted my career trajectory and shifted towards organizational behavior. I love the consulting projects I've done and the clients I've worked with over these past few years. I completed my MA and PhD studying Positive Organizational Psychology. My research focuses on: • employee engagement • healthy work-life balance • burnout prevention • remote work • high-quality connections • virtual teams • leadership development • viewpoint diversity and more. I am also a TEDx speaker, and my talk was selected to be featured on TED’s homepage (my talk was titled, "3 simple ways to build stronger relationships at work".
