Medical writer with 20+ years of experience in oncology, clinical research, health equity & CME/medical education

Profile Summary

I am a medical writer and oncology education specialist with over 20 years of experience across cancer biology, clinical research, and health equity. I hold a PhD in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, and Biochemistry, with prior training in biomedical and mechanical engineering. My work focuses on translating complex scientific and clinical evidence into clear, accurate, and audience-appropriate medical education materials. I have extensive experience developing CME and non-CME educational content, including slide decks, learning objectives, needs assessments, manuscripts, infographics, and patient-facing resources. My background spans lung and breast cancer biology, tumor microenvironment, precision medicine, biomarkers, and clinical trial literacy. I regularly collaborate with clinicians, researchers, and multidisciplinary teams to ensure scientific accuracy, regulatory awareness, and practical relevance. In addition to medical writing, I have led curriculum design and program development for national education initiatives, including oncology training programs and health equity–focused summits and webinars. I am particularly skilled at adapting content for diverse audiences, from clinicians and researchers to patients and community stakeholders. I bring a structured, deadline-driven approach to projects and value clear communication, responsiveness, and high-quality deliverables. I am available for short-term or ongoing CME and medical education projects in oncology, clinical research, and related life sciences.
