As a UX writer and designer, I have a passion for creating intuitive
user experiences through clear messaging and great design. My
background in user experience and technical communication gives
me a well-rounded understanding of the user journey and the power
of effective communication. I specialize in user experience writing,
user research, information architecture, content strategy, and user
experience design. I have a proven track record of success in
creating elegant user experiences and understanding user behaviors
to drive engagement and retention.
I am curious, creative, and passionate when it comes to all things
UX. You can find me reading UX material or watching website
reviews on YouTube. Some of my favorite books are Steal Like an
Artist and User Friendly, which have taught me to seek creative
solutions for problems that we may not even know that we have.

Hello lovely prospective clients. My name is Michelle, and though I fancy myself a Jack of all trades, my main strength has always been written communication. I have been earning extra income by proofreading, copyediting, and ghostwriting for over a decade now. This includes blog articles, business contracts, resumes, product descriptions, screenplays, essays, poetry, novels, and so much more. I am particularly adept at mimicking an author's personal style, and therefore may be a huge asset for creative projects.
Additionally, I have been known to dabble with music, graphic design, and video editing, which you can see samples of on my profile. Whether it's background vocals, logos, or video thumbnails, I'm confident that I have the skills to make your project the best it can be.
I am very flexible and open to offers for just about anything. If you have any questions or would like a sample of my work, all you have to do is ask!
Katrina O.
PhD Dissertation Editor & Research Consultant | 14 Years' Experience

Hi there, I’m Dr. Katrina Oko-Odoi, a PhD academic editor, research consultant, dissertation coach, and writer. With 14 years of experience, I provide high-touch, discrete, and publication-ready support to graduate students, faculty, postdocs, and established scholars engaged in advanced research.
I earned my PhD from UC San Diego and have been published in multiple peer-reviewed journals and scholarly anthologies. Over my career, I’ve collaborated with researchers across top global institutions, including:
🔹 Yale University
🔹 Harvard University
🔹 University of Oxford
🔹 Stanford University
🔹 University of Southern California (USC)
🔹 Northeastern University
🔹 UC Berkeley
🔹 UC Los Angeles
🔹 UC San Diego
🔹 Northcentral University
🔹 New York University (NYU)
🔹 And many more leading research institutions worldwide
Today, I specialize in supporting high-profile scholars and researchers working in fast-paced or emerging fields, including AI (artificial intelligence), digital transformation, human-technology interaction, and interdisciplinary innovation. I am frequently brought in for specialized research assistance, literature synthesis, manuscript refinement, data analysis, and confidential co-researcher collaboration on sensitive or high-stakes projects.
Whether you're preparing a manuscript for a top-tier journal, developing an advanced dissertation, or accelerating research in a rapidly evolving domain, I offer a level of rigor, discretion, and responsiveness designed to meet the expectations of elite academic work.
To help clients achieve these outcomes, I offer:
🔹 Dissertation & Thesis Editing in APA 7 style
🔹 Advanced Academic Editing for manuscripts and journal articles
🔹 Preprint Formatting & Publishing Support (arXiv, SSRN, institutional repositories, and field-specific servers)
🔹 Document & Citation Formatting (APA, Chicago, Turabian, AMA, MLA, Vancouver, Harvard, and institutional requirements)
🔹 Specialized Academic Research for literature reviews, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews, including work in fast-moving fields like AI
🔹 Data Analysis Support for quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies (coding, thematic analysis, statistical interpretation, results integration)
🔹 Academic Writing & Manuscript Development for journal articles, white papers, and research publications
🔹 Academic Writing Coaching for scholars who want to elevate their scholarly voice, improve clarity and coherence, overcome writing blocks, and develop sustainable writing practices
🔹 Dissertation Coaching & Consulting, offering high-touch guidance from topic development to defense
Every thesis or dissertation I have edited has earned strong committee approval, and each of my clients has successfully completed their degree. My clients regularly note that my support often exceeds the depth and utility of the feedback they receive from their advisors:
"Katrina guided me in a direction that resulted in the best thesis possible. It was like having a personal assistant 24/7. I highly advise any student or writer to ONLY use her services because you are guaranteed a final product that will exceed your expectations. I am in awe of her attention to detail and admire the patience, care and service that I was granted. I will be forever grateful for Katrina and could not have achieved such outstanding results without her!" -MA Candidate, Media
“I would highly recommend Katrina. She has excellent attention to detail and provides 'above and beyond' editing. In fact, I received more useful feedback in relation to my writing from Katrina than my supervisors!” -Psychology PhD
“I needed help getting my thesis past the introduction, so I chose Katrina's weekly coaching sessions. The key benefit that made this worth the price was focus, focus, focus on creating my personal strategy for producing academic work. Katrina had dozens of practical, specific techniques and tips to calmly help me with writer’s block, panic, and procrastination… Soon I was producing chapters rather than pages. She also had valuable insight for dealing with my committee diplomatically but effectively.” — PhD Candidate, History
In addition to my academic support services, I write high-impact white papers, eBooks, and thought leadership content for tech companies — turning complex research and data into compelling, accessible narratives.
What you can count on from me: exceptional discretion, meticulous editing, research-level insight, and consistent communication. I meet deadlines, honor commitments, and provide free follow-up revisions for all services.
I look forward to supporting your next research milestone.
