After over a decade in academia — including my current postdoc at VHIR — I’ve realized that some of the most valuable work I’ve done hasn’t just been running experiments or writing papers… …it’s been helping others translate their ideas clearly and get funded, published, or accepted. So I'm now offering freelance support for: 🧪 Scientific editing (papers, grants, abstracts) 🎓 Grad school application coaching (statements, structure, strategy) 🧠 Literature reviews & science communication (for wellness or research brands) If you're short on time, overwhelmed with deadlines, or just want another scientist's brain on your writing — I’d love to help. → DM me or comment if you're curious — happy to chat. Whether you're in academia, applying to grad school, or building a health brand — your ideas deserve to be seen clearly. Feel free to like or share if you know someone who might need this. Thanks for supporting scientists doing science a little differently 💛
