About Chris

With a PhD from Georgetown University, I help clients turn complex research on religion, ethics, philosophy, and related humanities or social science topics into clear, rigorous, publication-ready writing.

My work is especially useful for scholars, nonprofits, research organizations, policy teams, educational institutions, and public-facing projects that need complex ideas explained clearly and arguments presented compellingly. I can help clients with:

• Academic writing and editing
• Religion, ethics, philosophy, and interfaith research
• Literature reviews and background research
• Policy briefs, reports, and white papers
• Public-facing articles, explainers, and thought-leadership content
• Interview-based and qualitative research
• Argument analysis, conceptual clarification, and high-level editorial feedback

------------------------------------------------------------------

My expertise is grounded in rigorous academic training and sustained professional experience in research, editing, public scholarship, and publication workflows:

-Ph.D. in Theological and Religious Studies — Georgetown University, Washington D.C., U.S.A.

-M.A. in Philosophy — Central European University, Vienna, Austria

-John Paul II Center for Interreligious Dialogue, Rome, Italy — Russel Berrie Fellow

-Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, & World Affairs, Washington D.C., U.S.A. — Research Fellow

For clients, this means I can quickly understand your research aims and draft materials, separate what is relevant from what is not, organize ideas logically, and produce writing that is precise, clear, and elegant. If your project involves religion, ethics, philosophy, culture, public life, qualitative research, or humanities and social science topics, I can help you make your research and writing clear, credible, and compelling. Send me your brief, draft, or work-in-progress documents, and I’ll help you turn them into polished, professional writing that serves your audience and purpose.

    May 2018 - August 2021 (3 years and 3 months)
    Washington D.C., United States
    Over four years at this leading Washington-based think tank, I developed professional experience in research, editing, public scholarship, and publication workflows. I worked on projects involving religion, ethics, politics, peacebuilding, displacement, and global affairs, with responsibilities including academic and policy research, interview-based research, editorial review, contributor coordination, and clear public-facing writing. My work included coordinating editorial correspondence with 30+ international contributors and substantively editing 30+ chapters for The Oxford Handbook of Political Theology, strengthening clarity, coherence, structure, and citation accuracy in a major scholarly volume on religion and public life. I also managed the Berkley Forum, the Center’s online platform for public scholarship on religion, ethics, and world affairs, liaising with academic and policy contributors and supporting publication of 10+ essays per month for an audience of 10,000+ monthly readers.
