About this Gig

I specialize in strategic, substantive editing for competitive graduate and professional programs, including master's, PhD, fellows, postdocs, and law. This includes assessing what your statement communicates about you as an applicant, identifying missed opportunities, and strengthening positioning and structure. If your draft relies on vague or AI-generated language, I'll use the concrete experiences in your CV and supporting materials to restore specificity, substance, and voice.


My editing includes:


  • Admissions strategy & positioning
  • Structural/developmental editing
  • Substantive rewriting
  • Stronger narrative & argument
  • Identifying/filling gaps
  • Line editing for clarity, flow, & impact


With a PhD and 2 years of professional editing experience, I've helped thousands of applicants strengthen their candidacy for highly competitive programs worldwide.


What I need: Your draft, application prompt, and current resume/CV. Your writing doesn't need to be polished; that's my job.
