I have a bachelor's degree in International Relations and Global Studies and a Master's degree in Teaching English for Higher Education with a minor in Technical Writing.  I am currently a writer at Mayo Clinic and have just completed my Master's thesis analyzing linguistic moves in Radiology research articles. As a graduate student at the University of Minnesota I had the amazing opportunity to work for Student Writing Support and work with students from all levels and fields on their writing projects.  Over the two years working there I supported over 600 students and completed over 900 hours of instructional time.  In addition to this, I have freelanced as an editor and English tutor helping many international researchers at both Mayo Clinic and the University of Minnesota with their writing projects. I consider collaborative writing to be my dream job; the exchange of content information and English syntax information and the creation of something publishable at the end... is magic.

I love collaborating with writers at every level of the process, have a penchant for being a human thesaurus, and am a huge fan of the Oxford comma.
