Check out my Higher Educated-related writing!

I have also recently started a TikTok, sharing out information about Higher Education, Career Preparation, and more! My goal with this project is to demystify certain aspects of Higher Education and make them more digestible for the general public. 

I am a freelancer whose services include editing (academic and fiction), career counseling (document review, etc.), and college application guidance (from school selection through admission). For more on my services, see below or check out my Services page on LinkedIn

Editing

I am a freelance editor with a professional editing certificate from University of Chicago and previous experience in the writing collective Foster. I also have two English degrees, one from Marquette University and one from Trinity College Dublin. I enjoy both fiction and academic editing. My specialty is copyediting and proofreading, but I also aid in developmental edits. My fiction editing has focused mainly on Fantasy and Sci-Fi passion projects. My academic editing spans academic journal articles, referee reports, career documents, college-related papers, and college/graduate school application materials. I have particular skill editing for non-native English speakers and rephrasing/editing for conciseness.

College Application Counseling

With my experiences applying to undergraduate and graduate programs, my higher education expertise, and my editing skills, I have supported several students through successful undergraduate and graduate school application cycles. I provide advice on all aspects of the college/graduate school application process, from researching options to editing application documents to what questions to ask after acceptance and more. Students I have supported have been accepted into the following accredited programs:

• the MBA program at University of Michigan Ross School of Business

• the MPP programs at Loyola, DePaul, and University of Illinois Chicago

Career Counseling

With two years in Graduate Student Career Advising and a CCVW professional certification, I provide career counseling to students, future academics, and early-career professionals. I have extensive experience advising students with career aspirations in both academe and industry. I provide support in career exploration, job search strategies, career document review (including resumes, CVs, cover letters, academic cover letters, personal statements, teaching statements, research statements, DEI statements, etc.), personal websites, LinkedIn, networking, negotiation, and more. I have specialized experience supporting Master's and PhD students, international students, and STEM students.

I have participated in multiple hiring committees and bring valuable insight into what hiring managers are looking for in candidates. I also excel in translating career preparation expectations into language that academics comprehend.
