About

Ph.D. level Researcher/Writer/Editor/PA

How can I help you? I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology from UCLA and a BA from UC Berkeley and 20+ years of experience in research/evaluation, project management, and writing/editing within non-profit, for-profit, and academic environments. I have spent nearly 2 years working on another online task platform with over 100 satisfied clients. I am now looking forward to helping support the research, writing, editing, and VPA needs of new clients here on Guru!

I’ve worked in many types of environments including academic, healthcare, non profits, market research, public health, government, software, small biz/start up, and large corporate (as well as food service, dry cleaning, pharmacy, delivery person, personal assistant, etc). I’ve consulted for a bunch of academic institutions and for-profit and non-profit organizations, including the National Park Service, the National Park Foundation, UC Berkeley, Stanford University and Hospital, UCSF, UCLA, the Neuropsychiatric Institute at UCLA, and the Pediatric Pain Program at the UCLA Hospital. I love big ideas and providing the structure around them to ensure their realization. I’m also a big fan of using the amazing technologies and networks that we have to connect ourselves and help support each other in enriching (and fun!) ways.
