I also conduct investigative research, producing reports with insightful findings on any topic.

Testimonial
“I love the way the business case flows through with quotes and metrics... This is 10 times better than what we had before.”
Editing Adds Value
From the Harvard Business Review (2014):
Overworked managers with little time might think that improving their writing is a tedious or even frivolous exercise. But knowing how to fashion an interesting and intelligent sentence is essential to communicating effectively, winning business, and setting yourself apart.
Put yourself in your reader’s shoes. Is your point clear and well structured? Are the sentences straightforward and concise? MIT's Kara Blackburn suggests reading passages out loud. “That’s where those flaws reveal themselves: the gaps in your arguments, the clunky sentence, the section that’s two paragraphs too long,” she says. And don’t be afraid to ask a colleague or friend — or better yet, several — to edit your work. Welcome their feedback; don’t resent it. “Editing is an act of friendship,” says author Bryan Garner. “It is not an act of aggression.”
