Profile Summary

I am an experienced academic with strong skills in making arguments, writing, and editing. As a philosopher, my research has been in the philosophy of mind and of language. I am currently a freelance editor and writer working with authors in the humanities, from Ph.D. students to tenured faculty. As any philosopher will tell you, a good argument is a good argument, no matter the subject. I specialize in assessing and improving the structure and coherence of any writing project.
