In a microscope, glass — vitro in Latin — refracts light to create images that are focused and clear. As an academic editor, I hold a lens to science as it resolves into words, by working with researchers to transform their ideas into language that is clear, focused, and effective.

Are you a researcher struggling to turn your ideas into words? Is there too much pressure to write and not enough time? Or are you looking to reach a wider audience with your ideas—perhaps through citizen science or the media?

I can help. As a former microbiologist with a PhD in English and a decade of experience teaching university writing, I work with clients to shape and polish the documents that advance their careers. If you are working on a journal manuscript, thesis or dissertation, presentation, or application—or if you’re dreaming of engaging the public with your research—contact me!

I specialize in working with clients in the life sciences, medicine, and health policy, as well as those in the humanities whose work touches on science. I am based in Davis, CA and proudly serve my local community as well as researchers nationwide.
