What I'm looking for

I’m looking to join a team where I can apply rigorous editorial judgment—copyediting, structural feedback, and plain-language synthesis—to help audiences understand high-quality research clearly and reliably.

I’m an editor with a background in literary criticism and professional writing assessment, and I bring strong analytical instincts to every draft. I focus on evaluating argument structure, clarity, and coherence, then translating that analysis into practical, usable feedback.

In my work as a Writing Evaluator & English Instructor at Kella Vietnam (IELTS Preparation), I assess writing using IELTS scoring criteria and deliver structured editorial feedback on argument development, coherence, and logical flow. I also guide writers in strengthening organisation, eliminating ambiguity, and improving overall clarity and readability.

At Pearson as an Essay Scorer—English Assessment, I evaluate written arguments for structural integrity, logical consistency, and clarity across high volumes of responses. I apply detailed scoring frameworks to identify issues in organisation, reasoning, and expression while maintaining rigorous quality standards through close reading, impartiality, and analytical precision.

Currently, I apply these same skills to health and science content through my independent research digest. My Substack turns peer-reviewed studies in nutrition, neuroscience, and longevity into clear, evidence-grounded writing for general audiences—anchored by source verification, plain-language synthesis, structural editing, and a consistent voice across the niche.
