I am a former academic in the humanities (Philosophy, English Literature), very research-oriented Strong familiarity with scientific, legal, and general business and marketing terminologies. I have vast experience in the fields of biological, environmental sciences, and general academic letters and texts. I have worked and lived in the United States since 2001, and my written English is in most contexts indistinguishable from that of a native (US) English speaker.

I also offer advanced editing and other language services in both languages such as indexing, writing abstracts or bios, researching and writing short articles on specific topics, and ghostwriting. Please contact me for specific rates matching your individual projects.
