Portfolio
I have worn more than a few hats in my time. Below you can find some of the work l've done, and the people and institutions I've worked with in the last several years. Read on!
Editorial Consultant
For the last several years, I have helped different academic writers, from MA students to established professors, to prepare manusdripts for theses, dissertations, journal and book-length edited volumes and monographs. From early drafts through submission and on to publication, I hate advised and supported authors at different stages of their careers to successfully publish in English, in doing so helping them join their voice in the scholarly debates of their discipline.
Writer
Having written and published journal articles and book chapters, I've been on the receiving end of editorial feedback myself. I know how valuable it is to get advice and encouragement when shaping a piece of writing that has taken a long time to form in your mind and on your screen.
Teacher of General and Academic
English
I am CELTA-certified TEFL teacher and I take on students one-to-one who wish to develop a general skillset in English.
At times, authors have come to me wishing to publish in English, but they lacked some of the knowledge they needed to navigate the writing conventions that govern scholarly writing. In those cases, I have taught them how to implement basic writing and drafting protocols so that they could boost their writing skills and 'continue their journey to English language publishing.
Understanding writing tools such as parataxis, hedging, concision, tropes, flow and syntax can boost your writing too, if you feel a little lost in writing academically.
