    I've been an English tutor and teaching assistant since 2013. In these roles, I've worked with students to refine their research, written, and verbal communications skills. I've also grown used to assisting with last-minute edits, something that has proved useful in quick turnarounds for other clients. I have a good eye for detail and an attention to both large- and small-scale concerns in writing. In short, I'm equipped to handle beta reading and developmental edits as well as line editing and copyediting.

    My strengths in writing are vivid discription, metaphor, imagery, prose, poetry, romance stories, children's stories (especially rhyming ones) and self growth/spirituality. I am studying English in college right now. I believe this is a strength because I have fresh knowledge in my brain from what I just learned in class. I have written multiple children's books both for people on here and on my own. I am an experienced rhymer and frequent babysitter with lots of knowledge on what draws kids in. I did a life coaching program a few years ago and got certified as a life coach. I learned a lot about psychology and the everyday problems people face. I bring this knowledge to all my writing but particularly when writing for children. I think it is very important to have a lesson in every story, even if the lesson is just about having fun! I have completed a few romance novels on my own and I love writing in the genre. As a certified relationship coach I find it easy to write conflict. Knowing what all the conflicts couples go through is helpful when trying to make a story relatiable. If you struggle with this, I would love to help you! I have been writing poetry my whole life; it is my ultimate passion. I love rhyming and creating beautiful imagery for the reader to get lost in. All writing is just about saying things in the right way so that people are more inclined to listen to the information you are trying to share. Whether it is the theme you are trying to get people to listen to, or the story itself, I can tell it for you in a way that will reach your target audience. I write for ages 0-1000! Check out my Instagram for a lot more poetry if you are considering working together @butterfly_poetess

    I am Danielle Glynn, a scientist who studied how ocean ecosystems are changing with climate using the chemistry recorded in deep sea corals. During my bachelors in Earth System Science at UC Irvine I spent three years in a radiocarbon lab working with corals. For my senior project I examined the signal of nuclear bomb fallout integrated into a coral in the eastern tropical Pacific, noticeable through radiocarbon analysis. Then upon entering graduate school at UC Santa Cruz, I continued studying corals, only in this case the deep sea variety, which record within their growth layers the signal of nutrients and phytoplankton in the waters above. My PhD projects allowed me to send robots into the deep sea and involved a variety of drilling, weighing, and analytical techniques required to turn coral skeletons into amino acids in order to measure molecular and isotopic information. I have substantial teaching and mentoring experience during my graduate degree primarily in the fields of earth and marine science, chemistry, and biology.
