A partner who reads like a scientist and edits like a writer.
Early-stage investigators and scientists relatively new to English are especially welcome. Every project receives the same rigorous attention — no ghost editors, no shortcuts.
PhD Scientist Editor
Every manuscript is reviewed by a Microbiology PhD with over seven years of dedicated editing experience.
Life Science Focus
Specialized in basic and translational research across cancer, neuroscience, infectious disease, and more.
Global Reach
Trusted by scientists from the US, India, China, Japan, Germany, Poland, and the UK.
Rigor & Clarity
Copyediting, logic, journal-scope alignment, and high-level scientific rigor in every pass.
A passion for helping investigators communicate their science.
I received my PhD in Microbiology at Stony Brook University, then pursued basic and translational tuberculosis research at the Public Health Research Institute and NYU School of Medicine.
In 2019, I began my professional career in science editing, and later supported scientists as a Grant and Research Development Associate at Columbia University's Office for Research. For over two years I have served as a grant specialist through Life Science Editors.
Over seven+ years I have edited for scientists in cancer, neuroscience, cardiology, infectious disease, epidemiology, and maternal health — at institutions including NYU, Columbia, Yale, and Rutgers, and researchers worldwide.
Editing built around the way scientists actually write.
Copyediting, logic, clarity of significance and impact, alignment with journal scope, style formatting, and high-level rigor. Choose the support that fits your stage.
