Attention to Detail

Janna knows that just one inappropriately chosen word can derail the whole flow of the text – or unintentionally misguide the reader. That’s why she carefully edits her drafts multiple times before letting the editor make the final round of improvements.

Research & Analytical Thinking

While Janna is proficient in multiple fields, she knows her experience alone is never enough to help students. That’s why she spends hours doing her research before writing – and critically analyzing all materials before linking to any information.

Expertise in Education & Learning

Janna obtained her Master’s degree in Education Policy and Management at Harvard. Her academic past, along with her experience in education-related jobs, means she knows all the ins and outs of education, teaching, and learning.

Continuous Learning

Janna is driven by the desire to hone her skills. While her editor can readily attest her writing skills are excellent, she never rests on her laurels. Janna believes that only practice – and the ever-present desire to become better – can make her a good writer.

Storytelling

Janna never falls into the trap of overusing the passive voice or dryly reciting facts. Instead, she uses her writing skills to talk to her readers, guide them through the tips she’d like to share, and engage them until the very finish line.

Time Management

Janna not only writes about it sometimes – she also lives by her own advice. Meeting all deadlines simply leaves her no choice (not that she’s complaining). So, rest assured: in her time management pieces, every word is backed by her own experience.

Why Janna Joined NoCramming’s Team

Janna has been interested in learning, teaching, and education as a system since her student years. That’s why she chose a graduate program in Education Policy and Management. That’s why she went on to build her career in the education-related sector, as well.However, her personal experience with education was a far greater reason for her joining our writer team. She’s known financial hardships and learning challenges first-hand during her time at Stanford and Harvard. As a part of NoCramming’s team, Janna wants to help students navigate those hardships with keen advice and actionable tips.

“I spent some time writing for other review platforms before joining NoCramming, but none of their internal processes aligned with my values. From time to time, I’d be explicitly asked to write a positive or negative review, no matter whether the service actually deserved that kind of verdict. At NoCramming, I can finally write unbiased reviews without anyone influencing my conclusions, and I love it. The same goes for blog posts I write for NoCramming: I am free to share fact-based advice without editorial decisions forcing me in any direction.”

“I’ve always had a knack for taking deep dives into anything from how AI detectors work to how academic help services verify their writers. Review writing started as a simple gig for me, but soon enough, I realized I love helping my readers make good choices. Seeing how many shady services there are cemented my desire to write detailed, unbiased reviews even further.”

In Her Own Words: Why Review Writing?

A Peek Behind Janna’s Review Writing Process

To write objective and fair reviews, Janna starts by exploring the platform, reading the fine print, and checking out its reputation online. Then, she gets to the most exciting part: testing the platform as a user. She walks a mile in the customer’s shoes, taking note of her experiences throughout the process based on NoCramming’s six main assessment criteria.

With her research done, Janna gets to turning her notes into a draft that covers every little detail, from potential hidden fees to available payment methods. The draft then becomes a comprehensive review with the contribution of our editor, and we publish it to help our readers select academic help services.
