Specialized Editing for AI-Generated Writing
As the use of AI tools like ChatGPT, Quillbot, and Grammarly becomes more common in academic and professional writing, human editing has become more essential than ever. I specialize in editing AI-assisted writing to improve:
- Tone and style for academic or professional audiences
- Readability and sentence flow
- Variation of sentence structures and paragraph transitions
- Accuracy and logical consistency
- Identification of AI limitations, errors, and inappropriate phrasing
- Adding a natural human touch to ensure authenticity and compliance with academic integrity standards
In addition to editing AI-generated writing, I have authored two books on the use of AI for ESL educators and contributed to the training and evaluation of AI models for major educational and data science companies. This experience gives me unique insight into both the strengths and limitations of AI-generated text and how to refine it for academic and professional audiences.

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.
