AREAS OF EXPERTISE
My educational background is in systems and industrial engineering, and I have experience editing a variety of engineering and science disciplines.

In addition, I have extensive knowledge of the Chicago Manual of Style, and I have worked with non-native English speakers, ensuring that their final manuscript reads smoothly and accurately.
WRITING PROJECTS
My own writing projects include a number science articles written for a general audience and published in the journal Cell; two units for an introductory college biology curriculum; a World War II memoir written entirely from recorded stories of the author; and a book-length film study guide.
