Epidemiologist and medical writer, proofreader and copy-editor, over 20 years of experience

Profile Summary

I have over 20 years experience as an epidemiologist. During that time, I have worked on many different therapeutic areas, including cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Much of my work has concerned the conducting of systematic reviews, following PRISMA guidelines, and meta-analysis. I also have a particular interest in the preparation of manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals and can offer writing, copy-editing and proofreading skills, along with the analysis and interpretation of statistical data. I have co-authored numerous publications and a large number of internal documents. As I have worked on a freelance basis for many years, I fully understand the importance of working to budgetary and time constraints.
