Experience
Whether you are struggling with a term paper, a long-term research project, or some aspect of your writing process, I can give you the tools and concrete strategies you need to make your work better. See my website for services: http://www.graphywritingsupport.com/ ************************************** I have helped hundreds of undergraduate and graduate students across the disciplines improve the strength of their arguments, the clarity of their expression, and their confidence as writers. I offer detailed, careful, and comprehensive professional feedback on the quality of your writing. I provide guidance in developing and articulating your thesis, analyzing the argumentative structure of your work, and evaluating the effectiveness of your writing. My support also involves stylistic guidance and critique, including help with sourcing, sentence-level mechanics, clarity, tone, voice, and register. I welcome projects of all sizes and scopes, from feedback on term papers to more long-term mentoring relationships. Indeed, the more I can get to know you and your writing, the better I will be able to develop a program for helping you to achieve your writing goals.

Hobbies
When I'm not working, I enjoy reading to my daughter and exploring the nearby nature. I have grand plans of building a bread oven in my back garden. But first I think I need to get better at baking.
