An American by birth, I was educated at a highly competitive American liberal arts college before beginning graduate study at Cambridge, from which I received a PhD. With 8 years' part-time experience as a professional editor, I have considerable experience in professionally editing written work, particularly application essays and recommendation letters, and am highly experienced in academic writing, having published numerous articles, reviewed articles for journals, and edited textbooks. I look forward to helping clients perfect their writing abilities and put their best self forward!

My academic accomplishments have relied heavily on a strong writing ability: I have recently completed my PhD at Cambridge University, including writing a 80,000-word dissertation. I also have an MPhil. from Cambridge and a summa cum laude undergraduate degree in Economics and Physics from a highly competitive American liberal arts college. I have also successfully applied for several fellowships and scholarships and helped friends and colleagues through these processes. I have over five years professional experience as a freelance editor and am comfortable with working across cultural divides, as I have worked in six countries and traveled in nearly 70 (though, alas, not yet China!) Educated in both the USA and UK, I am comfortable with both American and British English. My areas of expertise are broad, including astronomy/physics, economics/econometrics/finance, public health, development, environmental science/agriculture, journalism, and creative writing. I currently work as a development economist and a freelance editor.
