Professional Experience
Imagine: A day without pauses. A day in which you don't think of what you could have said, later on, when you're brushing your teeth.
A day in which you have the power to articulate all that you mean.
My job is to help you get the words down on the page.
I have an MFA in Writing from Columbia University.
Before that, I achieved a First Class Honors Degree in English Literature, and an M.Phil in American Literature, from Cambridge University. I write novels and short stories.
I have written essays on a vast array of subjects, and edited other writer's work on topics of an equal range: from the Shanghai Art Market, to the perilous pleasure of enjoying the performance of tragedy. For the last two years I also taught University Writing to undergraduates at Columbia University. I can ghost-write to cohere with a particular style or voice, edit, polish, or re-write as you see fit.

Bespoke Editing and Mentoring, Application Consultant September 2012 – May 2015
Worked with multiple clients on personal statements for undergraduate, and post-graduate university applications.
