I am a research fellow in the Department of Informatics at UC Irvine. I specialize in qualitative research on information and communications technology.

As a graduate student, I do a lot of editing. The hardest thing about editing is erasing, and nobody likes erasing something he or she has written - especially if it's something written about your life! I can help you make the decisions based on what employers/admissions like to see. Also, because I study negotiations, I spend a lot of time studying techniques of persuasion, and I can use those techniques to help rewrite your materials so that you sound like the amazing candidate you are!

Currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program in English at the University of Pennsylvania, I am working on literary research while teaching and completing coursework. I received my B.A. in English and Italian Area Studies in May 2012 from Kenyon College. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with Highest Honors. I have extensive writing and editing experience both through my educational background as an English major, and informally through frequently editing CVs, cover letters and essays for my peers.

With over 14 years of experience in publishing and internal/external communications, accuracy and attention to detail are my hallmark qualities. My strengths lie in thoroughly researching a process to understand its value and uncover its weaknesses, then creating an effective schedule that carries a project from conception to completion. Furthermore, I thrive on working with teams, collaborating and developing ideas while maintaining a clear personal direction and responsibilities.
