About Sarah

I’ve been an editor, instructor, course designer, grad student, TA, RA, and learning strategist.

I believe strongly in collaborative work, empathy, and kindness.

I have substantial experience working with folks with a spectrum of disabilities and from a diverse variety of backgrounds.

Helping people develop tools, strategies, and skills that allow them to define and pursue their goals has been by far my most satisfying work.

Writing is hard. (Sometimes really, really hard.) I can help!

Kind Words from Clients

“THIS IS SO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven’t had a chance yet to review the feedback in full, but I did a quick skim and I am ecstatic. I don’t think I’ve ever felt this excited to get back into a writing project! I appreciate your careful and thoughtful comments, and I already know they are going to make a world of difference.”

"The questions you asked, such as "Would another word work?" made me try hard to search for a precise word to describe what exactly I wanted to express in the first place. And those words you suggested from time to time gave me very good insight into how the sentence should be expressed... I appreciate your edit and treasure the effort you put into my paper."

“First, please let me thank you for your work. My defense went well and my committee remarked on the clarity of the paper and the fact that the dissemination was error-free. I think that your work played large part in that.”
