    I received my Bachelor of Science from University of California, Berkeley. Shortly after graduating from university, I joined the corporate world, but after some soul searching, I realized that lifestyle wasn't for me. I jumped into freelancing as an alternative and that has allowed me to pursue my dreams of traveling the world full-time. I am currently a contracted copy editor for Proofed, so I work as a professional editor and proofreader already, but I am interested in taking on more freelance projects beyond my typical workload. I have a background and a strong interest in editing fiction, narrative nonfiction, and ESL/EAL documents. Due to my university education being interdisciplinary and centered around the natural sciences, I also find great joy in working with academic texts and research articles, especially those related to disciplines such as biology, ecology, geology, etc. That being said, I am well-versed in editing business documents (business proposals, marketing copy, emails, adverts, presentation slides, formatted text) and I have direct experience working in that sector myself. I have an expert command of the English language and I can edit in the dialect of your choice (British English, Australian English, Standard American English). My standard rate is $0.03 per word for copy editing and $0.015 per word for proofreading. I can be flexible in my rate, especially for longer texts such as manuscripts.

    Based in the vibrant biotech ecosystem of San Francisco, I specialize in securing funding for innovative startups, pharmaceutical companies, nonprofit research foundations, and scientific researchers. Operating independently, I spend my time crafting grant proposals, white papers, slide decks, conference materials, and all else necessary to help ensure my clients’ message resonates with high profile investors and funding agencies. In my first few years as a postdoctoral fellow at a leading neuroscience lab, I secured $14 M for cutting-edge research. While fundraising posed a challenge for many of my peers, I thrived when tasked with raising capital—jumping at the chance to transform complex research into compelling narratives—and have been hooked ever since! To discuss growth strategies in more detail, and figure out next steps regarding securing funding opportunities, message me here to schedule a discovery call. I look forward to getting to know your business and communication objectives and forming a strategic partnership that aligns with your vision.

    Hello! I am a professional classical musician, but because I have short hours and a passion for reading, writing, and editing, I am also pursuing work as a freelance copyeditor and proofreader. I have previous experience writing program notes for concerts, grading and providing commentary on students' papers, and writing tutoring. I have also informally worked as a volunteer editor for years. I am currently pursuing a Copyediting Certificate from the University of California, San Diego to perfect my skills, but I believe I can already not only successfully proofread any piece of writing, but provide helpful feedback that will elevate its organization, flow, and general appeal. Because of my background in music and the arts, I feel I would be especially helpful in those areas, but I have a broad array of interests and am open to any kind of work. I am dedicated, thoughtful, and thorough, always meet deadlines, and have a very flexible schedule so can turn work around very quickly. I look forward to working with you!
