PhD Biologist | Peer Review & Scientific Editing | NSF-Funded Research | 100+ Publications

Profile Summary

I am a PhD biologist with over 30 years of academic and research experience in ecology, conservation biology, and zoology, with a publication record exceeding 100 peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, and scholarly books. I have served as a journal reviewer and editorial board member and routinely evaluate manuscripts across the life sciences.

I have secured more than $2.2 million in competitive research funding as PI or co-PI, including awards from the National Science Foundation and the National Park Service. This experience informs my work in grant proposal development, funding review, and research strategy.

I specialize in scientific editing, peer review, systematic literature reviews, and research design, providing detailed, reviewer-style feedback that strengthens clarity, rigor, and alignment with journal and funding-agency expectations.

I work with graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, faculty, NGOs, and research organizations worldwide, offering senior-level scientific consulting grounded in decades of publishing, funding, and peer-review experience.
