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!

As scientist with a PhD from Oxford and one of ZhiShiQ's Senior Advisors, I have helped hundreds of clients make successful applications to graduate/undergraduate programs to some of the world's most prestigious universities: think Cambridge, Oxford, LSE, UCL, MIT, Yale, Harvard, Stanford, NUS, HKUST, and ETHZ.
