Hi, I’m Tarah, Freelance Writer, Editor, Researcher, and Instructor for hire. As a former university educator, published scholar, and ambassador, I use my experience and expertise to write, edit, research, and teach content for a variety of industries from the sciences to the arts.
When I’m not helping clients, I’m still finding ways to wrangle words, whether through crosswords, writing my own book, or helping friends sort out the best sentence in their letters to bosses. I’m well-trained by my dog. If a book is too long and needs a map of its fantasy world, I’ll read it. Hopeless punster. Currently giving peace a chance. I’m “a hoot to work with.”
