Susan earned her PhD in synthetic organic chemistry at the University of Michigan in 2009. She then began a three-year postdoctoral position in chemical biology at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory as a Linus Pauling Postdoctoral Fellow. In 2013, Susan took time away from research and discovered a passion for editing. Always an avid reader, Susan notices punctuation, grammar, and spelling mistakes. Susan completed proofreading training and continues her copyediting education with the Editorial Freelance Association. Since 2019, Susan has been copyediting and proofreading complex documents in the materials science, chemistry, and microbiology fields. Susan has extensive experience working with multilingual authors. With her experience, Susan can make complex ideas clear, concise, and accurate.

Susan's time at PNNL as one of the first Linus Pauling postdoctoral fellows was highlighted by four publications, three as lead author. Her research helped set the stage for the growth of chemical biology research at the lab. Susan is an excellent writer, having written and edited all of her primary authorship manuscripts. In addition, she was highly active in helping others in the group with their writing and oral and poster presentations. I strongly endorse Susan for her editorial skills at SciTech Proofreading.

Why "SciTech"?

After graduate studies in organic chemistry, I began working in chemical biology, proteomics, and microbiology for my postdoctoral research. This was a difficult transition made harder by poorly written or too complex papers. Thus, I have first-hand knowledge of the difficulties scientists face conveying complex information to their intended audience. Furthermore, I have published multiple papers in peer-reviewed journals, presented posters and seminars at conferences, and given many group meeting slide show presentations, so I also understand how challenging it can be to convey a complex message. Although research didn't become my passion, helping recount complicated messages (mostly in the sciences) in an understandable way has. Thus, SciTech Proofreading was born.
