Profile Summary

Here's a Kolabtree-optimized profile summary tailored to that platform's researcher-focused audience:

I am a certified Editor in the Life Sciences (ELS) with 15 years of experience editing medical and scientific content for some of the most respected institutions in medicine and publishing — including the National Institutes of Health (NIH/NIDCR), the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), and Elsevier.

I founded Calibrate Editorial to offer researchers, clinicians, and publishers access to expert-level editing that understands the science — not just the sentences. I work exclusively in AMA Manual of Style and specialize in:

Peer-reviewed manuscript editing — substantive editing, copyediting, and proofreading for journal submission across medicine, oncology, dentistry, and the life sciences
Clinical monograph editing — evidence-based clinical reference content edited for accuracy, consistency, and publication standards
Assessment content editing — medical board examination questions and high-stakes assessment materials, including item clarity, distractor quality, and item-writing best practices

My approach is thorough, responsive, and respectful of your voice as an author. I return clean, publication-ready work with clear queries and tracked changes — and I communicate proactively at every stage of the project. If you are a researcher preparing a manuscript for submission, a clinician developing educational content, or a publisher managing a high-volume editorial program, I would welcome the opportunity to work with you.
