Sharp science writer, editor. & researcher with an eye for the heart of your message | Bioethics, Public Health, Policy

Profile Summary

Maybe your website needs fresh, relevant content, or you could use a new set of blog posts? Or perhaps you need a white paper polished, a grant application written, an RFP completed, or a journal article edited? Whatever you need, let's see if we can collaborate. I specialize in getting to the heart of what you mean, steering by the principles of trust and transparency.

SCIENCE WRITER
With more than a decade's worth of experience in academia, I'm confident and comfortable writing for professional audiences and casual blog readers alike. I've got a background in health communications, public health, genomics, and bioethics, though I've yet to meet a branch of science I don't love. My Ph.D. training and years in health and environmental policy make me an excellent choice for complex projects that demand skills in research, data analysis, and science-related content writing. In the past, I've:
- Influenced medical research policy by helping conduct and publish team-based mixed methods research on patient preferences and consent practices in healthcare systems.
- Mapped a county's mental healthcare services and policies to better meet citizens' needs.
- Held health and performance-related workshops, then wrote the workshop reports.

MEDICAL EDITOR
As a former nursing assistant and current independent researcher, I get the need for solid, dependable medical writing that's also approachable, engaging, and understandable. I enjoy digging into the full spectrum of medical editing, everything from briefing memos to grant applications. I've:
- Edited committee-written reports for consistency and a uniform tone.
- Helped non-profits design and improve their patient-facing websites.
- Completed developmental edits on medical curricula.

OTHER WRITING
Got a writing need that doesn't fit neatly into those categories above? Let's talk about it. Above all, I aim to deliver value. That, I believe, is what you'll be getting in spades with me, given my background, skill set, and drive to bridge both the arts and sciences.
