My experience as an English as a Second Language editor and writer has given me the opportunity to work on projects in a wide variety of fields -- from scientific documents in biotech companies to texts about musical instruments. I've also learned to grade my language appropriately for the intended audience.

I am also an experienced Americanizer, translating material from British English to American English (and vice-versa).
