Research & Studies:
I am a PhD student in Slavic Languages and Literatures at Yale University. My research focuses on contemporary Belarusian literature, culture, and political art. I am also broadly interested in the study of religion, nationalism, and transnational movements in Eastern Europe. Occasionally, I write book reviews.
My interest in Belarus began when I got a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship and moved to Viciebsk, Belarus in 2018–2019. A country, culture, and history formerly unknown to me became my favorite lens through which to examine literature and art and its effect on individuals and groups, the choices we make, and the values we hold.
Academic Copy Editing Services:
In my free time, I work as a freelance academic copy editor. I have extensive experience copy editing academic monographs, collected volumes, and crossover books after working as an acquisitions editor and copy editor at Academic Studies Press. I am most familiar with the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) and the Modern Language Association (MLA) format but am happy to edit other citation styles.
I strongly believe that copy editing services should be available to all academics regardless of their income level. I am happy to work within your budget to help you get your dissertation, monograph, or other writing project ready for submission or publication.
Miscellaneous
In my freer free time, I enjoy running (not quickly), barre, hiking, and spending time with my pets and partner. I have a mildly concerning obsession with pretzels and vanilla bean ice cream.
