Experience
What's common in research, design, and editing?Analytical rigor for navigating from complexity to clarity and balancing substance with style.
Academic: From writing my research papers and PhD thesis to reviewing and editing many more - I mastered the craft of honing an argument early in my career.
​
Business: I have years of experience writing and editing technical and strategy documents at high-tech companies. Senior leaders relied on these for strategy, vision, and decision-making.
​
Nonfiction: I have collaborated with writers for books, book chapters, and essays refining structure and improving style. My favorite genre is popular science.
Why work with me?
I obsess over presenting your ideas in the most effective way to captivate your readers.
My passion and profession have guided me to the editorial mission.
​
​​The most rewarding part of my professional life has been influencing my colleagues to do their best work. I have been able to do this largely by enhancing their written content for clarity and impact: motivating people and organizations to spring into action and achieve great results. That's the power of ideas presented with well-structured and well-articulated argument.
​​
I bring a keen sense of logical argument development to the editorial services I provide. I enjoyed uncovering complexities and serving as a bridge between technical and creative talent. My technical expertise — electrical engineering to computer animation and voice technology to product design — has equipped me with a unique skillset to partner with STEM, academic, and business writers. ​
