- Promotional Work: I've helped a variety of businesses and nonprofits to increase engagement with their programs, services, and products. Long-running projects include writing travel itineraries for a boutique tour company, and editing B2B and B2C product copy for international athletic brands at a writing studio that specializes in the power of story. To learn more about recent writing projects that promote learning, adventure, and inspiration, check out my writing portfolio.
- Academic Work: I've edited two books in the humanities and countless papers, articles, and grant proposals. I'm proud to have helped scholars to earn publication and funding. I have also written and published my own book and a handful of articles, and I've earned a number of grants for my own work. To learn more about my own academic writing and publications, check out my research page.
- Student Work: I've helped college students for over a decade to strengthen their arguments, clarify their language, correct their errors, and complete their courses. I'm proud to have helped young scholars to earn honors, grants, scholarships, and graduate school entrance in my 10+ years as their professor, advisor, and academic coach.
- Grant Work: In addition to earning a number of grants for my own academic work, and helping students and colleagues to earn their own academic grants, I've also earned a handful of grants for a nonprofit that specializes in nature awareness and arts programs.
