About English Peanut

With over 15 years of experience in editing, publishing, and communications, I specialize in refining content to ensure clarity, accuracy, and impact. My career has spanned roles in academia, nonprofit management, and marketing, giving me a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of effective storytelling. Previously, I worked at Cambridge University Press, ensuring the quality of our publications met the needs of our K-12 educators, and I have collaborated with writers, researchers, and organizations to produce polished, compelling content.

As the founder of A Peanut Production, I have successfully provided branding, marketing, and editorial services to businesses, nonprofits, and individuals. My nearly 20 years spent in archaeology and international research also enhances my ability to distill complex ideas into clear, engaging narratives.

English Peanut is dedicated to supporting international students and researchers in two key areas: 

1) publishing their academic work in peer-reviewed journals and 

2) crafting compelling personal statements for college and graduate school applications

Whether refining a research manuscript for international publication or perfecting an application essay, I help writers present their ideas with clarity and professionalism.

As a native US-English speaker, based in the south of France, I am available to support you in real time across most time zones. Let’s refine your words to perfection! Reach out today to elevate your writing and achieve your academic goals.
