About Me
I have a master’s degree in psychology from Pepperdine University. I’m a court-rostered mediator. I have two decades in a successful freelance business in dissertation editing and academic research. I have extensive background knowledge in the social sciences, education, and leadership, continually brushing up on the latest research in these fields as I help graduate students to complete their degrees. I enjoy helping clients level up, especially in fields that have a substantial impact on culture. — Ardell Broadbent
