Specialized Expertise for ESL and Multilingual Writers
With a Ph.D. in Education–TESOL specialization, extensive training in ESOL methodology, applied linguistics, and second language acquisition, I bring a unique understanding to editing the work of non-native English speakers. I recognize the specific linguistic, rhetorical, and formatting challenges faced by multilingual writers and apply that expertise to ensure your academic work meets English-language standards without losing your original voice and intent.
I specialize in supporting ESL doctoral students, international graduate writers, and scholars from diverse language backgrounds with editing that is both technically precise and linguistically sensitive.
