David CS Richard, PhD

Introduction: I specialize in helping students and individuals write excellent reports, term papers, college essays, dissertations, foundation grants, resumes, academic CVs, and graduate school personal statements. 25+ of university-level experience as a professor and dean. General grad school application mentoring also available (essays, coaching, etc.). I am an international editor for the International Journal of Gambling Studies, have over 25 publications and 60+ professional presentations, and advanced degrees in clinical psychology (PhD, University of Hawaii), counseling (MEd, Harvard University), and business (MBA, Rollins College, expected Spring '17). I have written foundation grants, research manuscripts, and done numerous statistical analyses for other researchers. I've also been responsible for hiring staff and have reviewed hundreds and hundreds of resumes (some good, most not). My goal is to listen to you, figure out the best way to approach your particular question, and then help you get there. I focus on providing feedback and editing -- we will build a strong relationship in which I mentor you to become a strong and sophisticated writer. Helping people achieve their goals gives me a great deal of satisfaction. I enjoy helping people how to write at a high level of professionalism. More than anything, it's about building a strong relationship where I can help you focus on the best strategy for attaining success. We'll work together as a team to get there.
