I am glad that so many outstanding Chinese students want to come and study in the UK and other countries, and I am glad to help. I have assisted clients with applications to over 80 different universities in a dozen Asian, European and North American countries, including successful applications to most of the world's top-20 ranked universities. I graduated from the London School of Economics and have 35 years' experience drafting and editing CVs, reports, leaflets, information for Ministers, citizens, and the media. I now work as an employment coach, helping people find jobs; I drive elderly people to a day centre; assist hospital patients; and am a countryside volunteer, coppicing woodlands, laying hedges and protecting natural habitats.

I am an educational professional, translator, and author who has seen academia from all sides. I understand how stressful the application process can be, so I enjoy sharing expertise as well as encouragement with my clients.Although my background is in the humanities, the majority of my clients on Zhishiq.com so far have been in the field of finance, with a significant number in architecture, urban planning, and computer science as well. I love to research new topics, so I welcome the opportunity to collaborate with clients in all academic disciplines.I am a native speaker of American English, but I am well-versed in the written conventions of British English as well. I keep up to date with the latest edition of the Chicago Manual of Style, and I believe in the serial comma.

I am very proud to be a senior advisor at ZhishiQ and have had the pleasure of clients gaining successful entry into many fine international universities including London School of Economics, Imperial College, Penn U, Colombia and Chinese University of HK. I see words creatively, like a picture that needs every element composed to make a masterpiece, as well as, technically - how they fit and what meaning they convey. I have edited numerous disciplines; physics, architecture and planning, biomedical informatics, environmental engineering, marketing, education and pedagogy, public policy. When students get into their dream university programs, this of course makes me very happy and is why I do this job ;)
