Profile Summary

I’m a scientist and strategist who helps researchers, startups, and biotech founders translate complex ideas into clear, fundable, and credible stories. My background spans molecular biology, computational modeling, and scientific communication. During my PhD, I led the development of a global rare-disease database and co-founded an AI-driven drug discovery startup that raised $150K in funding. Through that experience, I learned that great science isn’t enough. It needs to be positioned, written, and communicated with precision and purpose. Today, I specialize in: Scientific & Grant Writing — crafting proposals, manuscripts, and white papers that persuade reviewers and investors alike. Strategic Consulting — advising early-stage biotech or healthtech companies on positioning, product-market fit, and scientific narratives. Research Communication — turning technical content into clear, accessible materials for scientific or general audiences. Clients come to me when they need someone who can think both like a scientist and a storyteller. Someone who understands the data, the vision, and the audience. If you’re looking for expert help with scientific writing, funding strategy, or communicating your research, let’s connect.
