Public Speaking

As an experienced public speaker, I can pass along strategies to combat natural feelings of nervousness and anxiety that can accompany the act of giving a speech. During my time spent as a managing editor, I have had to present work to large groups on a regular basis. I can teach you the three "P"s of public speaking--preparation, practice, and presentation--and you'll feel comfortable speaking in front of an audience of two or two thousand.

Amazing Editor

Mary edited my admissions essay for grad school, got me down to the word requirement, and did so without changing my overall vibe of the essay. I'm now confident enough to submit my essay. I'd definitely use her again!

Expert Researcher, Excellent Writing Tutor, Wonderful Person.

Mary was absolutely wonderful, dependable, knowledgeable and a life saver. My son's college paper was due in 2 days and he was having tremendous trouble finding scholarly sources to support his argument and tie everything together. Mary knew how to steer him to the research, initiate his brainstorming process and suggest relevant ideas when needed. They worked beautifully together. She literally saved the day, as we were frantic and very stressed as to how to successfully navigate the complex world of scholarly sources. We are very, very grateful for Mary's help, patience and expertise.
