01
PhD thesis
Doctor of Clinical Psychology
Waipapa Taumata Rau | The University of Auckland
"Working with Kristin was incredibly mana-affirming. She has a real talent for accuracy and enhancing intended meanings. I found her comments validating, strengths-based and neurodiversity-affirming. Her open-mindedness and broad political knowledge are real assets. I particularly appreciated her efforts to confirm that her contributions were meaningful and aligned with our copyediting plan. Out of all my university education experience, I found my work with Kristin most useful, in part because of her kindness."

PhD Thesis
Doctor of Education and Social Work / Matātā Taua'oa'oga ma Galuega o Manūuga Fa'afaigānu'u
Waipapa Taumata Rau | The University of Auckland
"My doctoral thesis included Pacific research methodologies, Pacific language and creative components. It also integrated various modalities, including text, imagery, poetry and video. As a Pasifika researcher engaging in Pacific Indigenous-centric research, I appreciate the ethic of care Kristin demonstrated throughout the review process. She demonstrated deep respect for and genuine interest in the work. After the viva, my thesis was passed without any further recommendations or edits. In my view, this is also a testament of the high standard of Kristin's work. I have continued to work with her across several research projects and article submissions."
03
Master's thesis
Supervisor
Master of Human Geography
Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha
University of Canterbury
"I make sure my students work with an editor so I can focus on the content and overall structure of a thesis. My candidate (a native speaker of Indonesian) and I really appreciated how Kristin provided corrections in the text and added comments and suggestions when something didn’t quite work in English. As a supervisor, I valued Kristin's collaborative approach, as it is helpful for students when the proofreader and supervisor are on the same page. Kristin recognised that thesis writing is an emotional and academic journey, and I’d happily recommend her to potential students and supervisors."

Conference Paper
PhD Researcher
School of Built Environment
College of Sciences
Massey University
"As a very mature first-time post-graduate student, I needed assistance on a conference paper. A friend and PhD student in his last year suggested I approach Kristin, as he had found her work to be of excellent quality and value. When I emailed her, she was visiting family in the USA but agreed to help me. I had a very short deadline, and the work I sent through was edited overnight. I was amazed that Kristin was able to present me with a finished paper of the highest standard so quickly, especially when she had no knowledge of the legislation that I was critically analysing. I will be recommending Kristin to anyone who asks."
07
Educational Resources / Website
Arts Beyond Borders Project Leader
Centre for Arts and Social Transformation
Waipapa Taumata Rau | The University of Auckland
"Kristin has proofread and edited all the content of our project. As a non-native English speaker, I have had the help of many proofreaders with my writing in English, and I can say that I have never found anyone like Kristin. She not only has outstanding communication skills, but also makes a special effort to understand your meaning and intentions in every single sentence. Her comments and suggestions were super helpful for all of our collaborators. I'd definitely work with her again and recommend her to everyone."

Journal Submission
PhD Researcher in Enterprise Systems
Waipapa Taumata Rau | The University of Auckland
“Kristin provided clear, constructive comments which helped to improve the clarity and consistency of the manuscript. Her excellent communication skills made the experience very pleasant.”
05
Postgrad Diploma Assignments
Postgraduate Student of International Hospitality Management
Auckland Institute of Technology
“As an overseas student, I found it difficult to write academically. When I was feeling overwhelmed, Kristin rescued me with her editing and teaching skills. With her support, as I completed one assignment after another over the course of the semester, I never lost my confidence, I improved my grades, and I developed my writing skills. Her feedback helped me to understand how my arguments in essays and reports should flow. Thanks to her comments, I was able to present my ideas more logically for an academic audience that included my instructor and my native English speaker peers.”
