Professional Experience

I’m the Editor of a small academic journal published here in Midtown Manhattan, formerly worked alongside a Presidential speechwriter, and did some freelance speechwriting and editing for Members of Congress and Executive branch. I am purely an editor; I will clean up your prose and offer suggestions where your writing lacks clarity or focus. I am an expert at making other people’s writings flow as smoothly as possible. In short, I'll make sure that you're saying exactly what you mean to say to your readers.
