Let me take you through some of my most memorable adventures in my research and support career.
Every person needs support in different ways.
1. Research and Development
2. Administrative and Technical Support
3. Editing and Proofreading
4. Technical and Scientific Writing
5. Science Writing
6. Consultations

I'm Dr. Erika Yashiro. Thank you for visiting my website!
I offer value to my clients by helping them improve their productivity and the quality of their output.
You might think that the services I offer seem a bit broad. The truth is, they are because every person and team has their own unique pain points.
And my mission is pretty simple: Target your individual needs with personalized support.
Why do my flyers talk about "our" services? I also collaborate with a couple of other freelancers to offer a broader range of high-quality services. So, if you sometimes hear me talking about our services, you now know what I mean!
Beyond scientists, I also help a broader community of professionals and students by editing and proofreading all types of documents, including websites. Check out my service offers in the menu above!
Contact me to discuss your specific needs and/or if you're in one of these icky situations below:
➔ You need additional staff to delegate work to.
➔ Your staff leaves before finishing projects, and you need someone to finish projects and write the reports.
➔ You're starting a new project that requires a particular expertise or administrative and technical support.
➔ You have data but don't know how or don't have time to analyze them.
➔ You want the maximum impact from your written work.
➔ You need help polishing the English and general state of your documents.
➔ You wish to have an external peer review with a quick turnaround time before submitting manuscripts to journals.
➔ You're overwhelmed and want to delegate tasks like submitting sequences to Genbank, polishing user guides, data entry, analysis software installations, etc.
➔ You have too much administrative work to do and wish to delegate some of that work.
➔ You're preparing presentations, reports, grant proposals, and educational materials, and you need a hand to speed up content search and content generation.
➔ You have other specific needs.
I look forward to working with you!
