A native English speaker, I gained a BSc in Physics from the University of London, then a Master’s in Optics at the University of Reading. After working for the Ministry of Defence and several technology companies, I switched career and became a physics teacher. Through my work as Outreach Coordinator in the College of Science at the University of Canterbury (New Zealand), I gained experience and knowledge of a wide range of scientific disciplines, from Astronomy to Zoology.

I provide proofreading or editing for a wide range of scientific material, including essays, books, theses, dissertations, proposals, posters, presentations, journal articles and web pages. I work with documents in Word (using Tracked Changes), PDF and LaTeX (either as .tex files or in Overleaf).
