HIGHLIGHTS
Several biochemistry and social science manuscripts edited by me were accepted for publication.
A student who had their thesis edited by me received their master’s degree in May 2019, while their advisor described my work as “5 star.”
A consumer products company’s retail and trade catalogs were described as “more precise and polished than ever” after I edited them.
I edited two US government documents and an official said that “the turnaround was fantastic.”
