"I have a deep love for the written word and have thoroughly enjoyed my time working with high schoolers to strengthen their writing skills."

Lyra is a student at Cornell University pursuing undergraduate degrees in English and Computer Science. She harbors a deep love for the written word and has thoroughly enjoyed her time working with high school and college newspapers, designing and publishing websites, and collaborating with journalists to strengthen the expository writing skills of high schoolers. As a student of both natural and computer languages, she has a nuanced appreciation for syntax and lexicon that she draws from in her own writing and editing practices. When she is not in school, Lyra lives in Seattle where she enjoys reading, painting, running, coding, and crocheting. Through positions in environmental technology, artificial intelligence/machine learning, corporate, financial technology, education, non-profit, and the service industry, she has amassed much experience in both humanities and STEM fields, and as such, is comfortable handling a wide array of essay topics and prompts. Lyra is unfailingly delighted to discuss anything literary, so please feel free to reach out!

I decided to award Lyra with the maximum score for the meticulous following of the prompt and my comments. I actually have nothing to add. Well done!

My editor is very responsible and indeed helpful. Since English is not my native language, she really gives me a hand in correcting all grammer mistakes I made. Now my essay is much more smooth and improved.

I like how the editor managed to understand the themes of my "messy" essay and make it so much clearer for myself and other readers.

Lyra did a great job of staying true to my narrative voice throughout while making critical grammar and sentence structure corrections. Lyra also specifically addressed the concerns that I highlighted prior to submitting my essay for review. I would highly recommend the service and even plan to use it again for my scholarship essays now that I have witnessed the EssayEdge difference!
