UNIVERSITY WRITING CENTER (UWC)

The University Writing Center (UWC) provides support to UT Austin students by offering resources to students, including individual consultations, writing group access, and other forms of support to form a productive writing community that helps students achieve their academic and professional communication goals. As a UWC writing consultant. I was trained in multidisciplinary consultation with students from diverse backgrounds and with diverse professional and academic goals. I helped students develop their writing skills to communicate effectively in various professional and academic writing projects, including job application materials such as resumes and cover letters, applications for graduate or medical school, lab reports, technical writing, and research grant applications. To become qualified for these consultations, I received training in multidisciplinary writing consultation, particularly in professional and technical writing. Additionally, I also served as a liaison with the Longhorn Center of Academic Excellence, where I worked with students from diverse and historically excluded backgrounds. At the UWC and LCAE,  I worked with over 147 students with a 98+ satisfaction rate. My other duties at the UWC included giving presentations in other instructors’ classes on subjects such as “Transitioning from High School to College Writing” and “Plagiarism 101,” leading workshops on digital composition, contributing to resources and research for UWC official material, and assisting with other administrative work as needed, including providing copy editing assistance for the journal Praxis.

LONGHORN CENTER FOR ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE (LCAE)

The Longhorn Center for Academic Excellence (LCAE) was a part of The Division of Diversity and Community Engagement (DDCE) at UT Austin. The LCAE aimed specifically to serve the needs of students from historically marginalized backgrounds. As a liaison at the UWC, I collaborated with students from culturally diverse backgrounds to provide support through one-on-one consultations. In addition to my training as a UWC consultant, I was also trained to work with ELL English Language Learners) and international students to provide individualized and culturally inclusive feedback. Unfortunately, the LCAE was disbanded in 2023 due to Texas Senate Bill 17, which disbanded all “DEI” programs in public institutions in the state. An archive of the LCAE Facebook page is available here.

PROFESSIONAL CONSULTATION SERVICES

In addition to my other scholarly and professional endeavors, I work part-time as a writing consultant, editor, copywriter, and proofreader for academic and professional writing projects. Examples of services that I offer include format and citation check, project management planning, verbal (video) and written client interpersonal communication with individualized feedback, proofreading and editing, dissertation coaching, and revising job application material such as resumes, CVs, cover letters, and statements of purpose. Due to my interdisciplinary scholarly backgrounds and comprehensive training and work experience, I have particular expertise in academic writing and digital content production, evaluation, and auditing. For more information regarding availability and services, please see my consultations page. Although the majority of my consultation and editing projects cannot be shared publicly out of respect for my clients’ privacy, a limited sample of my editing and consultation work is available here.

As of February 2026, I am no longer taking on new clients for the time being. I am currently prioritizing other freelance work and can only provide services to previously established clients.
