[ Researcher / Ghostwriter / Proofreader / ESL / ELA / TOEFL ]

About Me I am a global and passionate American writer and educator with a Master’s Degree in Political and Ethnic Conflict Resolution from King’s College London. I am currently focused on ghostwriting sociopolitical topics and teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) to students preparing for university or entering the workforce, as well as ELA for K-12 youth. With extensive experience in higher education, research, and global analysis, I bring a nuanced understanding of cultural and geopolitical contexts to every project I take on. My academic journey has taken me to prestigious institutions like the University of Maryland, the University of Manchester, and Arabic Language Flagship schools, where I developed skills in Arabic and cross-cultural communication. My work often focuses on the United States, Western Europe, the Middle East, East Asia, and South America. Core Expertise • Ghostwriting: Specializing in sociopolitical topics, historical analysis, and global issues. • Content Writing: Article writing, journalism, and strategic communications tailored to client needs. • Research & Analysis: Crafting research briefings, summaries, and insights using open-source intelligence methods. • English Language Teaching: Experienced in teaching ESL to students of diverse ages and backgrounds, with a focus on confidence and fluency. • Editing & Proofreading: Ensuring clarity, professionalism, and precision in academic, business, and creative projects. Professional Highlights • Worked for clients in cybersecurity, open-source intelligence, and advocacy, producing bilingual (English and Arabic) briefings and advising on social media strategy. • Authored speeches and articles on political, human rights, and educational topics. • Delivered research briefings for private intelligence agencies, focusing on global geopolitical conflicts, cybersecurity, and biometrics. • Contributed to youth involvement in cybersecurity and public education programs on history, politics, and human rights. A Multilingual Background Growing up as a competitive figure skater, I taught skating to Spanish-speaking children, sparking my passion for cross-cultural education. I later worked with Mandarin-speaking ESL students, developing a deeper appreciation for linguistic diversity. My travels and studies have shaped my belief in building bridges between cultures to foster mutual understanding and societal growth. Notable Sociopolitical Projects • Cybersecurity: Youth-oriented content writing and open-source intelligence briefings on global security issues. • Global Affairs: Articles on education and international relations in China, as well as research on Mandarin as a critical language. • Middle East & North Africa (MENA): Analysis on Saudi Arabia’s economic and political shifts and monitoring Arabic-language social media activity for terrorism-related research. • Africa: Briefings for a UN project on the Central African Republic, and strategies for combating biased news in Ethiopia. A Commitment to Excellence Whether crafting a compelling story, delivering sharp analysis, or teaching English to eager learners, I approach every project with precision, creativity, and a global perspective. I also bring experience working with AI, shaping it from a writer’s viewpoint. My passion lies in education, storytelling, and fostering meaningful cross-cultural communication. Let’s collaborate to bring your vision to life. Feel free to reach out with your project ideas—I’d love to help!
