To assist Claudia, I  copyedited her thesis and redesigned the research figures. This work involved redesigning navigational graphics and multiple charts, including topographic graphs. Claudia received positive feedback from her thesis examiners. Her comments about this project are detailed below:

"I highly recommend Eileen Siddins for her exceptional editorial services. Her meticulous editing for grammar, spelling, clarity and style significantly improved my PhD thesis, leading to an "excellent" rating (which is the highest rating) for “the quality of English and general presentation” from both thesis examiners. Eileen's collaborative approach, transparent communication, and attention to detail set her apart. Besides editing the text of my thesis, Eileen also greatly enhanced the visual presentation of 17 tables and 32 figures, contributing to a polished and professional aesthetic. Working with Eileen not only improved my thesis but also deepened my understanding of effective scholarly writing thanks to her explanations of editorial decisions."
