Academic writing and editing
From big-picture insight to line-by-line care
Full-service academic editing and mentorship for students and researchers—helping you shape arguments, clarify structure, polish language, and stay accountable from draft to submission.
About Me
I am an academic editor with 15 years of experience supporting students, researchers, and professionals across the health sciences, psychology, and social sciences.
My expertise lies in full-service editing—ranging from developmental and structural guidance to line editing, proofreading, and formatting.
I hold an MSc in Medical Science and an Honours BSc in Neuroscience from the University of Toronto. Along the way, I won the Julie Payette–NSERC Research Scholarship, awarded to the top 24 master’s applicants in Canada—not just for academics, but also for communication and leadership skills. Those same skills are at the heart of my work today.
My clients often tell me they come for the editing, but what helps most is the mentorship and accountability: someone to check in, keep them on track, and give honest, constructive feedback.
