"I'm Dr. Ruby. I earned a master's degree in secondary integrated curriculum and a doctoral degree with a cognate in Urban Education. During my graduate studies, I realized I was passionate about academic writing. Writing was not always easy, but I was fortunate to have excellent professors who helped me hone my writing skills. I learned that with proper guidance and patience, writing can be fun, meaningful, intellectually rewarding, and empowering.

I have over 15 years of experience teaching college-level academic writing and editing scholarly articles. I have directly supervised over 25 doctoral dissertations and 300 master's thesis papers. For several years, I sponsored graduate students at a multi-university research conference and was a referee for peer-reviewed academic journals. I'm an APA 7 style writing, research reports, and data analysis expert. My areas of expertise include literature review development, research methodologies, and data analysis. Regardless of the discipline, I focus on helping students craft meaningful and methodologically sound research.

I specialize in guiding students through the intricacies of academic writing and research. I help my students organize complex thoughts and build on the writing skills they already have. My goal is for my students to develop scholarly work that meets academic standards and contributes to their chosen field or major. My passion for writing is contagious, but most importantly, I hope my students become confident writers." less...
