Support that’s strategic, soulful, and designed for lasting change
You're not just here to finish a project — you're here to reclaim your voice, your power, and your purpose. My work supports you at every stage of the writing and academic journey with expert guidance and deeply human care.
"The level of expertise that Dra. Chang offers is incredible, but more so what I appreciate are the conversations that we have. Talking about everything from theoretical framework, to the structure of the paper, to some insecurities that I have about imposter syndrome and facing this really big project. I will continue to work with Dra. Chang with every academic project that I have going forward. Not just because of the high level of work that she does,
but it’s the friendship and the conversations that I really appreciate."

Working with Dra. Chang was one of the highlights of writing my book. I found her feedback to be comprehensive, thoughtful, and supportive. The process can feel really isolating and lonely - it was really great to have someone who was able to be such a positive force in my writing project. I would definitely recommend her. Don’t hesitate! Go get that work done!

Dra. Chang has been instrumental in guiding me to be the professor I want to be. She sees potential in me that I know is there, but often times I struggle to articulate.

I’ve worked with Aurora a couple of times in the past, and each of those times have been transformational in terms of my thinking. Aurora helped me clarify my thinking around my manuscript, and transform what was essentially a hodgepodge of data and ideas, into a coherent manuscript that was accepted for publication.

Do you work with clients whose first language is not English?
Absolutely! My first language is Spanish and I got my start in and found my love for editing when my mom went back to college in her 40s as a mother of six. I edited ALL of her papers and am proud to say we both graduated from college the same year. I've also worked with hundreds of non-native-speaking students, academics, and clients.
