Hello! My name is Aaron, and I'd like to work with you. I'm guessing you've got a wealth of talent and experience and you need it to stand out. I've helped many students with exactly that challenge, and they've ended up at Yale, Columbia and UPenn, to name a few stiffly competitive places. I'm confident that, together, we can make your application represent you with just the right shine.

I am an educational professional, translator, and author who has seen academia from all sides. I understand how stressful the application process can be, so I enjoy sharing expertise as well as encouragement with my clients.Although my background is in the humanities, the majority of my clients on Zhishiq.com so far have been in the field of finance, with a significant number in architecture, urban planning, and computer science as well. I love to research new topics, so I welcome the opportunity to collaborate with clients in all academic disciplines.I am a native speaker of American English, but I am well-versed in the written conventions of British English as well. I keep up to date with the latest edition of the Chicago Manual of Style, and I believe in the serial comma.

I am a research scientist who has worked and studied extensively in the fields of child psychology, behavioral health, and neuroscience. I have had substantial experience with writing, editing, and peer-reviewing scientific manuscripts and grant proposals. I've also written and edited numerous successful personal statements for my own scholarly pursuits and also to help friends, colleagues, and students.
