Master's Degree in Musicology; Freelance Proofreader, Editor, & Writer

I am a research scientist who has worked and studied extensively in the fields of child psychology, behavioral health, and neuroscience. I have had substantial experience with writing, editing, and peer-reviewing scientific manuscripts and grant proposals. I've also written and edited numerous successful personal statements for my own scholarly pursuits and also to help friends, colleagues, and students.

With a background in Chinese to English translation and teaching English as a second language, I have honed excellent skills in attention to detail and cultivated a passion towards supporting international students. Having completed a year of study with Zhejiang University of Media and Communications, I have gained first-hand experience of the challenges of studying in another language and believe I can support students in reflecting their potential through the application process.

I am a professional ESL teacher and editor. I studied abroad in college and taught English overseas for four years before returning to the US. I am CELTA certified in TESOL, specifically for teaching adult speakers of other languages. I currently work in marketing as an editor for large businesses. I have strong skills in editing and proofreading for a variety of subjects, including English, literature, sociology, anthropology and linguistics.

I have a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. In my research I focus on political ideology from an interdisciplinary perspective. In the course of the past ten years I have spent in academia I have acquired a lot of experience in professional (academic) writing and communication, as well as scientific rigor and work ethic.
