What I'm looking for
I am an experienced language professional and writing specialist with a strong background in academic research, editorial work, and AI training. I hold a PhD in English Language and Literature from the University of Chicago, complemented by earlier degrees from the University of California, Berkeley, and Northwestern University. My expertise combines a deep command of written language with a practical, research-driven approach to content development.
Currently, I am engaged in freelance AI training, focusing on generating nuanced, context-aware language that meets high editorial and factual standards. My previous roles include Lead Content Editor at Brightline Publishing, where I managed editorial planning and delivery of content in the education and nonprofit sectors, and a Writing Instructor at the University of Chicago, where I taught structured academic writing courses to both graduate and undergraduate students. I am passionate about enhancing the clarity and impact of written communication.
