## What I'm looking for

```text
I’m looking for remote, worldwide opportunities where I can lead editorial work, develop grant proposals, conduct policy research, and create well-sourced content for mission-driven organizations, academic publications, agencies, and clients.
```

## About

```text
I've spent the last decade moving between research, teaching, and editorial work, and I keep coming back to one thing: making complicated ideas easy to read. I manage the full editorial pipeline for an academic journal, from author correspondence through reviewer assignment to final publication, and I edit manuscripts for clarity and structure before they go to print. Outside the journal, I write for general and academic audiences on politics, media, and security, and I've picked up practical skills along the way: grant proposal writing, curriculum design, video editing and voice-over work, and design in Canva.

What I'm looking for now is remote work where I can put that range to use, content writing, editing, research support, or policy analysis, for a team that values clear writing over jargon. I work well on deadline, I ask questions when something's unclear rather than guessing, and I've built a habit of turning dense material into something a reader will actually finish.
