As an educator and researcher trained in the humanities, I work with academics and activists, and specialize in supporting authors whose first language is not English. In particular, I work with authors—established academics working on manuscripts, graduate students trying to find their voice, undergraduates learning how to get their ideas out there, and activists articulating their visions—as they develop their writing into high quality, well-articulated, research-backed, impactful publications.
While my content expertise is in contemporary Germany, my background in Literary and Cultural Studies, Migration Studies, and Ethnic Studies, as well as my degrees in Economics (B.A.), Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (M.A.), and German Studies (Ph.D.) have exposed me to a broad world of knowledge, theoretical lenses, and methodologies. I have experience working with authors writing about all kinds of subjects: AI use in self-driving cars, precarity in contemporary European film, masculinity politics in a Dominican television show, and Italian architecture in Ethiopia, to name a few! With over a decade of developmental editing experience, I’m skilled in and committed to an editing process that is thorough, collaborative, and kind.
