English Language Arts Editing for Grades 3 to12
Khan Academy
Working with a remote team to launch the New SAT section, I wrote and edited items (i.e., questions and answers) that focused on English grammar and writing skills. I also developed a style guide for our team to provide guidance around content standardization.
McGraw Hill Education Publishers
I helped launch MHE’s Acuity assessments, which were administered to grades 3 to 12 across the U.S. In addition to writing original, non-fiction and poetry passages while aligning questions and answers to each State’s learning standards, I created and documented a public domain research and grade-level alignment process for fiction that helped to streamline the work of several editorial teams.

Preparing Research for Peer-Review
I edited research papers and grant proposals for doctors and biology researchers at various stages in their publication and grant submission processes. This taught me how to handle complex scientific information and work with subject matter experts (SMEs).
Representative titles and topics include the following:
Atrial Septal Aneurysm
Insulin Resistance in Overweight Children
Myocardial Ischemia Following Caffeine Overdose
Unusual Presentation of a Right Atrial Myxoma
Cellular circuitry that controls the specification, differentiation and maintenance of specific cell types in Drosphila melangoaster
