Experience

Research and Policy Analyst. Ten years experience working with governments, working directly for legislative and executive officials. I've done everything from proof-reading staff memos to engaging in long-range strategic planning. Also experience in the non-profit sector. I am a published essay writer (political topics). I edit on a daily basis others' works with AP style. I can teach you how to improve your writing skills for non-fiction or fiction. I can show you how to make your presentations stand out, both verbally, and visually. I have managed and written grants. I am comfortable either editing your work for style and content, or teaching you how to do the same. Expertise provided if you are working on a graduate thesis or project as well. Mine won top honors at the UW. I work on a sliding scale, starting at $20/hour for simple help with improving writing skills on up to $75 hour for project management or strategic development assistance. Thesis development is usually in the $30 range. Payment expected within 1 week of session, by cash, cashiers check or money order. NO personal checks, sorry.
