🥇 Expert-vetted top 1% on Upwork. 🥇 Industry leader with 10+ years partnering directly with hiring managers at Google, Meta, Apple, Tesla, and Amazon. I've written 5,000+ resumes and reviewed 100,000+ applications. My clients have a 95% interview rate within 60 days. That's not luck. That's strategy. Recruiting is split into two worlds: 50% algorithm, 50% human judgment. Most candidates fail at one. I make sure you win at both. I specialize in the 10-second test, passing ATS filters that screen 80% before any human reviews your application. My expertise comes from a decade of hands-on work with ATS platforms like Workday, Lever, Greenhouse, iCIMS, BambooHR, and Jobvite. I understand exactly how these systems parse resumes and what signals matter to both machines and hiring managers. This goes far beyond keyword stuffing. I've spent years reverse-engineering what actually works across different environments and how to design resumes that pass automated screening and command recruiter attention. My MBA thesis focused on technology and talent acquisition has earned me the chance to be featured in MarketWatch, Yahoo Finance, and Digital Journal, which informs every resume I build. Every project is handled personally by me. No outsourcing. No templates. No cookie-cutter approaches. Just a tailored strategy that reflects your unique value and authentic voice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 📢 “But what about AI? Don’t online resume builders handle that now?” 📢 Fair question. Tools like ChatGPT or Claude are fast, but they're not strategic. They generate clean formats and surface-level keyword matches, which sounds good until you realize the output looks like 10,000 other resumes. Generic. Repetitive. Disconnected from your career narrative. Here's what tools can't do: capture complexity. A non-linear career path. Leadership potential buried in your experience. Technical depth that needs to translate into business value. These platforms aren't built to understand how hiring managers actually evaluate talent or what signals they're reading between the lines. I understand the technical layer (how ATS parses resumes) and the human layer (how recruiters assess intent, growth, and cultural fit). That combination is where strategy happens. I don't just fill in templates. I structure your entire narrative around what actually drives hiring decisions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 🕒 Ready to get serious about your next move? Here is how it works. 🕒 1) Strategy Conversation: We start by understanding your goals, what's been holding you back, and how you want to position yourself in the market. 2) Diagnostics: I audit your current resume against ATS requirements and what hiring managers are actually looking for. You get clear feedback on what's working and what needs to change. 3) Narrative Mapping: We map out your career story. This isn't just listing achievements, it's positioning them so they answer what hiring teams are actually asking. 4) Resume Drafting: I build your resume with every section intentional. Achievements are contextualized, keywords are strategic, and your voice comes through. 5) Refinement Rounds: You review the draft, I iterate based on your feedback. We continue until the final version reflects both strategic precision and your authentic voice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Resume Writing | Resume Strategy | Career Positioning | ATS Optimization | Executive Resume | Senior Resume | Tech Resume | Career Transition | Job Search Strategy | Interview Preparation | LinkedIn Optimization | LinkedIn Profile Writing | Personal Branding | Career Coaching | Recruiting Strategy | Hiring Systems | Keyword Optimization | Resume Formatting | Certified Resume Writer | CPRW | Modern Resume | CV Writing | Talent Acquisition | FAANG

Hello, and thanks for reviewing my profile. I look forward to hearing about your project! As a career freelance writer, creating fabulous content and well-crafted books is my passion. The written word has always been something especially beautiful to me, from the many intricate fonts to the individuality of each written piece. This love of writing led me to pursue a Journalism and Communications degree program right from high school, and I have been writing ever since. Between writing projects, I have worked as a sailor, commercial diver, and foreman in a Rigging Shop. This career diversity allows me to draw on a wide range of experience for any project. Whether you are seeking long-term assistance or you just require a polish to work already started, your project will be delivered on time and completed to your specific instructions. My home base is Kelowna, B.C., Canada, although I am currently travelling and writing part of the year in Mexico. When not writing, I can be found cycling and exploring. Travels have taken us (so far) to India, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Italy, the South Pacific and throughout Central America. We have lived in Canada, Grand Cayman, Australia, and now in Mexico.

I have a PhD and have taught at several major research universities, served on thesis committees, and launched a program to support graduate students through their journeys. Now I'm happy to help you with your academic writing and to complete your thesis or dissertation. Arrange a free consultation to ask questions and find out how I can assist with: • Academic English, including proofreading to correct spelling, grammar and punctuation • Improving your AI-generated drafts to ensure authenticity and a voice that's your own • Complying with your university’s style guide (e.g., APA7, Chicago, Harvard, etc.) • Structuring your chapters, and ensuring there is narrative flow • Organizing your Literature Review • Designing your Methodology • Producing a Thematic Analysis and writing up your Results and Discussion In my role as an academic editor and writing coach, I work with two types of clients: 1. PhD and Master's degree students who need support in completing their thesis. 2. Researchers who need assistance with journal articles and reports for publication. Although there are many similarities in the work, since both require a strong knowledge of academic writing, understanding of scholarly standards, and commitment to excellence and rigor, there are some differences as outlined below. 1. PhD or Master's Students Completing a PhD or Master’s degree is difficult enough at the best of times. So, as well as editing manuscripts to meet the university's expectations, I also specialize in working with graduate students who have run into extra challenges along the way. I can help if you’re: • Lost and stuck because you don’t understand what your supervisor wants • Unclear about how to improve the structure or narrative flow of your thesis or dissertation • Not sure how to write a Literature Review • Conducting a specialized technical or medical Systematic Literature Review • Confused about why you need a Theoretical Framework (and what is that anyway??) • Wondering what to put into your Introduction, or Conclusion • Mixing up your Methodology with your Findings and Discussion • Recovering from an illness or a personal loss and need help re-engaging with your studies • Still at the proposal stage and trying to understand what's needed for a PhD or Master's 2. Researchers and Report Writers If you are an individual researchers, or a member of a research team, and are subject matter experts who need to present their findings to meet the highest standards. I can assist by: • Proofreading to improve the English so that the research is clearly explained • Editing documents to follow academic protocols for format and structure • Applying the style guide preferences (APA, Chicago, AMA, etc.) of particular scholarly journals • Ensuring that reports or proposals are written to suit the readership • Checking that articles and reports have the expected sections and subsections • Verifying that proposals to government agencies are comprehensive. Whether you are a student, a researcher or a faculty member, I invite you to find out more in a free 10-minute introductory Zoom Call. Ask questions, tell me more about your study, find out how I can help. Please check the positive feedback from my many satisfied clients, and then get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you.

I’m an education writer, former Special Education teacher, and multi-business entrepreneur with a Master of Education focused on Equity, Diversity, and Social Justice. I help turn complex, messy, or still-developing ideas into clear, usable content for parents, educators, entrepreneurs, and mission-driven organizations. A lot of my work happens when things are not fully defined yet. There may be several moving parts, shifting priorities, and no clear system in place. I’m good at stepping in, making sense of the pieces, and creating structure people can actually use. My background includes classroom and Learning Resource experience, including IEP development, accommodations, emotional regulation support, and family advocacy. That keeps my work practical, human, and grounded in real-world needs. I’ve also built and run multiple ventures, so I understand the realities behind the work: limited time, imperfect systems, competing priorities, and the need to keep moving before everything is perfectly figured out. My work includes: • personal development course building • real estate client education and onboarding courses • equity, access, and belonging training • parent guides and family-facing resources • curriculum and instructional frameworks • course and program content • course-to-workbook conversion • structuring, editing, and refining existing materials • grant writing and proposal development • website and program copy • workflow and content organization I’m especially strong at taking layered, sensitive, or emotionally heavy topics and making them feel clear, steady, and usable. If you’re building or refining something that needs more structure behind it, I’d be glad to help.
