Profile Summary

With a Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences and nearly a decade of experience in translational and clinical research and technical writing, I bring expertise, passion for communication, and ability to translate complex science into clear, actionable messages. I have successfully designed and implemented numerous health initiatives, securing funding, developing protocols, mentoring team members, and navigating timelines and stakeholders across a range of disciplines. My background has demanded strong organizational skills, careful data interpretation, and the ability to convey scientific findings accurately and concisely. I may be a good fit for you if you require: • Personalized consultation for translational and clinical research projects. • Assistance with any part of a project's lifecycle, from funds acquisition to data analytics and dissemination. • Collaboration with diverse teams to ensure effective project coordination. • Project design, implementation, or evaluation services.
