Graduate student at the University of Cambridge; (Successful!) International applicant from the USA; Professional editor, copywriter, press consultant

My name is Joel and I'm originally from Texas in the United States. I studied engineering (BS) and government (BA) at the University of Texas. I did my PhD work at the University of Cambridge. I am a skilled writer and editor of both technical and non-technical documents.

I hold a first-class degree in English Language and Literature from Oxford, an MPhil from Cambridge and a teaching degree from the University of Edinburgh. I have tutored at both undergraduate and postgraduate level across a wide range of subjects and written for national publications including the Guardian and the Independent.

I am a native English speaker from South Africa, and have studied master's degrees at both Oxford and Cambridge. I have studied engineering, economics as well as Chinese international relations. I am currently learning Mandarin.

I am a native English speaker with 10 years of experience in academic writing and advanced training in biostatistics, genetics and epidemiology, including a PhD from the University of Cambridge. I have also previously worked as an editor on a number of student magazines at the University of Cambridge and have experience working with ESL (English as a second language) authors through my work as an ad hoc reviewer for scientific journals.

I am of American origin and received my BA degree in the United States, but received my MA in England and am now working toward my PhD in History at the University of Cambridge.

I am a recent graduate of Cambridge University, where I completed a Masters in International Relations in June 2013. I proofread and edit all types of document, from professional reports and presentations to CVs and academic papers, to the highest standard of written English. My academic experience combined with professional experience in the US Senate, the UK Parliament and top communications firms has given me the ability to craft a document with fluency, flair and logical rigour.

I have authored or co-authored 15 non-fiction books, on subjects ranging from Inventions to the Olympic Games to Economics for Kids. I also used to write obituaries for The London Times, a job which required the highest standards of written English. My main strengths include flexibility and breadth of experience. I am equally comfortable writing for general, academic and business audiences.

I am currently studying for a PhD in Nanoscience at the University of Cambridge. My research aims to analyse new nanoparticulate samples by advanced metrological techniques, including high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). After University I hope to start my own company.
