I am an experienced academic writer, researcher, and educator with a strong interdisciplinary background spanning Linguistics (BSc) and Business Administration (MSc and PhD). This combination equips me with advanced analytical ability, strong research competence, and the skill to communicate complex academic ideas clearly across a wide range of disciplines.
Over the past several years, I have worked as both a lecturer and a freelance academic writer, supporting undergraduate and postgraduate students across diverse fields. This experience has strengthened my ability to critically analyze research problems, develop well-structured arguments, and produce high-quality academic work that meets institutional and scholarly standards.
I provide end-to-end academic support, including essay writing, dissertation and thesis development, research papers, and systematic literature reviews. My approach covers the full research process, from topic development and research design to data analysis and final submission, ensuring each project aligns with required guidelines, academic standards, and referencing styles.
I am skilled in both qualitative and quantitative research methods, including survey design, SPSS data analysis, and reference management using Mendeley. I also offer thorough proofreading and editing services focused on clarity, originality, structure, and academic integrity.
My work is guided by professionalism, attention to detail, and a commitment to delivering high-quality, plagiarism-free results within deadlines. I adapt easily to different academic fields while maintaining rigor and consistency in every project.
If you are seeking a reliable academic professional who can deliver well-researched, clearly written, and methodologically sound work, I would be glad to support your project.

Your proposal is the only thing standing between your business and a government contract. I make sure it wins.
I'm a federal proposal writer and government procurement specialist with a track record of helping small and mid-size businesses compete and win in government contracting. My clients have secured over $5.7M in federal, state, and local contracts across construction, facility management, IT, healthcare, transportation, and professional services.
I don't write generic proposals. I study the solicitation, reverse-engineer the evaluation criteria, and build every section to score the maximum points with the reviewing agency. Compliance isn't an afterthought, it's the foundation.
── What I deliver ──
→ Technical Proposals — Clear, persuasive narratives that explain your approach, methodology, and team in language evaluators reward
→ Management Approach — Demonstrates your organizational structure, key personnel, and project controls
→ Past Performance Narratives — Compelling, accurately framed references that strengthen your credibility score
→ Compliance Matrix — A section-by-section checklist ensuring every solicitation requirement is addressed
→ Executive Summary — The first thing evaluators read; I write it to set the tone and win the room
→ Capability Statements — Tight, agency-ready documents that open doors before the RFP drops
→ SAM.gov Registration & Maintenance — Full setup, renewal, and profile optimization
→ Pricing Narratives & BOE — Clear, defensible cost justifications aligned with government cost principles
── Industries I've supported ──
Construction & Infrastructure · Facility Management · IT & Cybersecurity · Healthcare Services · Transportation & Logistics · Professional & Consulting Services · Staffing & Workforce · Nonprofit & Grants
── My process ──
I start with a bid/no-bid analysis, I'll tell you honestly whether the opportunity is worth pursuing before you invest a dollar. If we move forward, I build a compliance checklist first, then write every section with the evaluation rubric in front of me. Before submission, I do a full compliance sweep.
I work with businesses that are serious about government contracting, first-timers who need a strong entry and experienced contractors who need stronger proposals.
If you have a live RFP, RFQ, IFB, or Sources Sought, send it to me. I'll review it and tell you exactly what it will take to compete.
No fluff. Just winning proposals.

125M+ in capital raise asks modeled so far this year.
Fractional CFO & Lead FP&A.
Ex-EY / EY Parthenon Financial Modeler and Valuation Analyst.
FMVA and FPAP certified.
I build two things: financial models that help founders raise capital, and CFO-level financial systems that help operators run their business without guessing.
After we work together, you walk into your next investor meeting and answer "what happens if growth slows 20%?" without flinching. Your model updates in real time. Your deck and your numbers tell the same story.
For capital raises: you get an investor-ready financial model built around your actual business logic - not a template with your logo on it. Every assumption visible, every scenario toggleable, every investor question answered before they ask it. The same approach behind $110M+ in raise packages across SaaS, real estate, CPG, agriculture, clean energy, and numerous other industries.
For ongoing operations: you get a CFO-level decision system built from your raw data. P&L, cash flow, margins by product, runway projections, scenario planning - one screen, 30 seconds, every Monday morning. 82% of businesses that fail cite poor cash flow management. This system makes sure you're not one of them.
You stop making $50,000 decisions based on your bank balance and start making them based on actual data
Most financial models you'll find on Upwork are templates with your numbers dropped in. Mine are decision tools - built around how your business actually runs, stress-tested for the questions investors and partners will ask, and structured so you can maintain them yourself long after we're done.
I don't just build and disappear. I start with a structured assumptions interview so every input is locked before I write a single formula. I deliver a recorded walkthrough of every tab so you understand exactly what your numbers say and why. And when you're ready to present, you're not defending someone else's spreadsheet - you're presenting a model you actually understand.
"The financial model for our SaaS startup was clear, flexible, and easy for our team to use in investor discussions. Adjustments to growth assumptions could be made instantly." - Adam, HealthTech Startup Founder
"He took our initial financial model framework and significantly upgraded it - restructuring the revenue logic to better reflect our actual business plan and making the whole model much more flexible and easier to adjust going forward." - A.B., Investor
Taking on 2-3 new engagements per month. If you're raising capital or need financial clarity to run your business, message me with a quick overview - what your business does and what you're trying to accomplish. I'll tell you if I can help and how.

I’ve reviewed 1000s of startup decks, 10+ years of experience in VC in USA in various roles: VC Partner, Head of Investor Relations, 2x founder.
I think like an investor, structure like a consultant, write like a strategist, design like a pro.
I work with VC, PE funds, startups and businesses of all stages on:
🔴 Sharpening and writing investor narratives that cut through the noise
- pitch decks, memos, onepagers and investor materials
🔴 Design that is not decoration. It is hierarchy and intent, and a spark of magic ✨
- Branding, materials design, visual language
My CORE PRINCIPLES in investor materials:
- Sharp positioning, avoid generics. “Backing exceptional founders who drive innovation” 🤢 must go
- Assume people don’t read, they scan. Cut text, use tight bullets, numbers, logos and highlights
- Lead with traction, team track record, tangible insights. That is what actually sells
My PROCESS:
- Materials revision, discovery call with founders
- Writing or refining content, iteration-review loops
- Polish with professional design after content is set
OR
- Pitch deck review consultation with honest, practical feedback. Book in my profile
🔴 I maintain relationships with VCs, debt lenders, and family offices and selectively refer aligned deal flow. I am a registered broker-dealer in the USA.
I can also lead your fundraising / investor relations if we align.
About me:
- founder at prophet.partners, investor relations studio
- Ex-VC partner at Starta VC & accelerator in NYC ($50M AUM across fund I, fund II, 150+ portfolio companies)
- Harvard University: Management in Innovation & Technology executive program
- VC Lab: fundraising program for emerging VC fund managers
Expertise in: VC, funds, B2C, B2B, SaaS, Consumer, DTC, hardware, apps, deeptech AI, PE deals, venture credit, real estate and more

My clients are at least 2Xing their raises.
Is This You? Let's Talk.
I can't help everybody, but we might be a great fit if you're thinking:
⚡️” There are millions on the line and I want the BEST.”
⚡️” Our story has changed since the last round!”
⚡️” I know how to run my business, but maybe I'm too close to it.”
⚡️” I'm NOT a pitch expert, and I don't have time to mess around with PowerPoint!”
⚡️” The last pitch we did was embarrassing - I don't want that EVER again.”
⚡️”I need a full pitch package that I KNOW 100% will tell our company’s story RIGHT.”

Not every business is a fit for my services, though. Some signs we might not be a good match include:
