With a Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of California, Irvine, and over a decade of experience in academic research, teaching, and program coordination, I bring a sharp editorial eye and deep understanding of scholarly writing to every project. I specialize in editing academic manuscripts, grant proposals, and educational materials, offering thoughtful, detail-oriented feedback that enhances clarity, coherence, and impact. My own educational background spans the social sciences, earth and oceanographic science, and pedagogy, giving me the ability to offer effective editing across a variety of disciplines. This ability has been further expanded by editing work across many disciplines including Planning, Policy, & Design, Education, Business Administration, Digital Marketing, Anthropology, Informatics, and Creative Nonfiction.

In addition to my academic credentials, I have managed educational programs, facilitated workshops, and mentored students at all levels. I understand the pressures of academic and nonprofit writing and offer supportive, efficient editing that respects your voice and goals. Whether you're polishing a dissertation or crafting public-facing content, I provide collaborative, high-quality editorial support tailored to your needs.

As an anthropologist trained in ethnographic research methods, I have strong skills for gathering and analyzing information to arrive at conclusions and recommendations of actionable steps. Combined with my experiences working as an educator in both academic and nonprofit settings, this expertise results in a particular interest in and effectiveness with carrying out program design and assessment. I am particularly interested in working with entities seeking to ensure their programmatic efforts are aligned with their desired outcomes, whether at an organizational level or within educational frameworks of aligning curricula and assessment with student learning outcomes.
