Your writing deserves more than a second pair of eyes — it deserves a professional one.
I'm an editor at an Ivy League university press, where I've published multiple award-winning books. I hold a Ph.D. in English and bring over eight years of university-level teaching and Writing Center experience. I work with language at the highest level, every day, as my profession, and I bring that expertise directly to you.
I specialize in the writing that opens doors: college application essays, graduate and professional school personal statements (med, dental, vet, law), academic papers, theses and dissertations, and career documents like cover letters and statements of purpose. My students have gone on to gain admission to selective programs across the US and abroad, or earned the grade they were aiming for. Whether you're staring at a blank page or stuck on a draft that isn't quite landing, I'll help you find the argument, the voice, and the words that make your writing work.
I'm especially experienced working with international and ESL students — I have training in French, Malay, and Mandarin, and I understand what it takes to write with precision and confidence in a second language.
My approach is direct and collaborative. As a professional editor, I know how to give feedback that's honest, specific, and actionable — not generic comments that leave you guessing. We'll work on your ideas, in your voice, toward a finished piece you're proud of.
When you're ready, drop me a line about what you're working on!
