Research, Composing, and Editing Highlights

I have published 4 research-based articles, including 1 peer-reviewed article and 2 collaborative publications
I used Qualtrics and JotForm for surveys and Zoom and phone calls for interviews
In addition to the dozens of papers for university courses, I also published some articles during my BA about local issues, drawing on journalism skills
I have extensive experience with writing and composing many different interdisciplinary genres. I also taught and can cite in AMA, APA, Chicago AD and NB, IEEE, MLA, and NLM/Vancouver!

Note: These publications are all open access articles (yay!) and are listed in chronological order, from most recent to eldest.
