I am a creative and effective communications professional with 10 years of experience in the editing/writing field and a proven ability to meet deadlines--I respect your time! I am noted for my strong skills in English grammar/punctuation usage, voice, tense, spelling, flow, sentence structure, clarity, and consistency as well as Chicago, APA, AP, MLA, CSE, Turabian, Harvard, and other style manuals you request be followed. My goal is to make your writing sharper while helping you to maintain your voice; I work very hard to make sure that I understand the message that you are attempting to communicate in writing. My passionate sense of accuracy; organization; attention to detail; and familiarity with Microsoft Word are second to none. I can't wait to make your document beam of professionalism and feature an impressive flare that will help you to achieve your goal!

Greetings Scholars, Professionals, Novelists, and Students, I have over 19 years of experience spotting and correcting grammatical errors, improving word choice, and crafting well-written arguments in order to articulate the author's intended meaning in business documents, student assignments, and competitive compositions. Additionally, as a seasoned professor, I have nearly a decade of experience revising and editing student essays, theses, and dissertations. APA style is my specialty, yet I also have a cultivated aptitude in both Chicago and MLA formatting.  A special skill of mine is that I am well versed in the street vernacular. I will help you retain your style while correcting the grammatical issues in order to help you reach your desired audience. This fund of knowledge might be especially useful for urban fiction and creative writing. I have edited a novel and a poetry book that are both currently in press and available on Amazon. I have successfully secured funding through my competitive grant writing ability within the non-profit sector. I have a proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking Spanish and can easily spot common errors for ESL clients. I also have edited several journal articles for scholars in China. I have achieved 14 competitive awards based on merit and scholarship in empirical research, conference presentations, and honorarium work. I look forward to bringing your projects to the polished and professional final product!   Key services: thesis editing, dissertation editing, ESL editing, manuscript editing (especially in the fields of education, sociology, and humanities), college papers, high school admission essays, business documents (letters of application, cover letters, emails, memos, newsletters)
