With a life-long fascination with science and a love of the written word, it has been - and continues to be - a joy to combine the two: as a technical writer for a variety of software companies, a technical report writer for a research company, a freelance grant writer, and an author's editor for ESL scientists and researchers who wish to publish in American and British professional journals. I have a Master's in Professional Writing from UMass Dartmouth, and I'm particularly interested in the rhetoric of science - yes, science is rhetorical.
