As a writing coach, I help you develop skills to confidently express your ideas in clear, articulate, and effective writing.
I’m a professional medical editor and writer with a master’s degree and 20+ years of experience in academic and health science communications. I’m a member of the American Medical Writers Association, with credentials in medical and plain language writing. Additionally, I delight in teaching!
My background includes tutoring in college, serving as a graduate teaching assistant, and working as an epidemiologist writing grants and manuscripts, editing a physicians’ newsletter, and mentoring colleagues in developing writing skills. As a freelance medical editor and writer since 2017, I provide writing, editing, and consulting services for physicians and researchers (manuscripts, abstracts), doctoral candidates (dissertations), and others. This background adds to my effectiveness as a writing coach helping students compose compelling admissions essays and personal statements for college, graduate school, and medical school.
I take a planful approach to coaching writing students, aiming to develop the writer rather than merely correct errors. I teach strategies for brainstorming, organizing ideas, developing structured outlines, breaking projects into manageable pieces, honing vocabulary, editing for grammar and punctuation, and proofreading. I work with students in high school and beyond as well as professionals seeking coaching, editing, or proofreading support to achieve their goals. I provide edits and comments in Word, PowerPoint, or PDF documents and/or conversationally via live screen sharing.
As a writing coach, I combine writing and editing expertise, a kind and encouraging demeanor, and a love of teaching. I enjoy building relationships with students and helping them grow into competent, confident, and independent writers.
