editing

I have extensive experience editing application essays (for undergraduate and graduate programs, fellowships, and jobs), articles, book proposals, and manuscripts across disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. In particular, I have enjoyed working with many scholars who have worked in both Mandarin-speaking academia and Anglophone academia at different stages of their careers, aided by my fluency in Mandarin Chinese and my familiarity with Sinophone academic conventions.
