Hire Dr. Monique W.

Netherlands

Experienced scientist with broad interest in Biology, language services and education

Profile Summary

I have a Ph.D. in biology and worked for many years as a researcher in the United Kingdom and the United States. I published several peer-reviewed papers and participated in many educational activities and public events. Although I am not a native speaker, English is my second language and I have been providing editorial services for a couple of years. I would like to use my knowledge, research experience, my passion for communication and Biology, to the service of others. As a freelancer, I offer copy-editing services, contribution to digital learning methods, and literature search services for education, exhibitions, or science fairs. Thank you for your interest, and feel free to come back soon!
