My first job in research was in a neuroscience electrophysiology lab at UCLA. I managed the mouse colonies, trained undergraduate students, and genotyped mouse models of Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, and Parkinson’s diseases.

My next position was in another neuroscience lab at The Salk Institute. I utilized molecular biology, animal behavior, tissue culture, immunohistochemistry, stem cell biology, and microscopy in my projects, which were primarily focused on mouse models of ALS and spinal cord injury.

I then went on to work at GNF (Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation) and was involved in drug discovery, deriving stem cells from mouse, tissue culture, and ascertaining gene expression using qPCR and Western blots. My projects primarily focused on cell models of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).

I have been copyediting manuscripts for colleagues and friends for many years, and have obtained on-the-job experience/training from MDPI.com. I edit manuscripts from a range of disciplines including the life sciences, computer science, engineering, medicine, psychology, and math.

I am the Copy Editor for the University of Chicago Press journal Freshwater Science. I collaborate closely with the Technical Editor, the Editor-in-Chief, the publishing team, and the authors. I work on manuscripts at different stages in the publication process, copyedit in Microsoft Word, and proofread in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
