I am a professional writer and editor with deep experience in the academic and corporate sectors. I have edited numerous dissertations and academic papers in a variety of fields, and publish a variety of political commentary and satire. I also have professional voice training from private teachers. and some choir experience, and sometimes use techniques from those lessons in coaching sessions. I have helped prepare many people for job interview panels, performance reviews and dissertation defenses. For 20 years I have offered programs in Accent Reduction for Non-Native Speakers to Bay Area residents from all over the world. My own corporate experiences have given me insight into the numerous set-ups, traps and arguments you just can't win, in the corporate world.
