Hi, I'm Heather.

Since 2017, I’ve consistently delivered fast, precision-tailored, publisher-ready work that meets rigorous editorial standards. On every project, I offer structured feedback, flexible scheduling across time zones, & extensive, personalized support.

I've served Ivy League institutions — including Weill Cornell Medicine, UPenn’s School of Engineering, and The Princeton Review — as well as other universities & research institutions by producing, revising, or critiquing content, including research communications (peer-review submissions & grant proposals), manuscripts for mass distribution (books & e-books), educational material (textbooks, workbooks, & other learning material, including for patient education and staff training), and marketing collateral (blog posts, website content, & brochures).

I specialize in health/medicine & emotionally nuanced psychology content but have also worked with historical as well as other scientific or professional niches. I am a professional member of the Professional Editors Network.
