Freelance Science Editor and Proofreader | 11 years of experience in biochemistry and microbiology

Profile Summary

I have a PhD in biochemistry and completed a post-doc in microbiology. I was funded by an F32 NRSA fellowship as a post-doc. I served as an ad hoc reviewer for Nature Communications and the Journal of Biological Chemistry. I am the go to member of my lab for manuscript and grant editing due to my attention to detail and ability to pick out inconsistencies. I have published fifteen peer reviewed publications, six of which were as a first author.
