Experienced medical writer, researcher, & consultant with a passion for women's health and pharmacovigilance.

Profile Summary

I'm a clinician (OB/GYN nurse practitioner), a researcher (see publications), and a writer (author of Pregnancy and the Pharmaceutical Industry, Elsevier, 2019). I enjoy quirky, one-off, outside of the box projects but also assisting clients with manuscript design, writing, and editing, conference proceedings, non-fiction writing, and improving ESL manuscripts from students and researchers trying to finish their dissertations or publish their research findings. Prior clients include The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, UNC faculty, United Biosource Corporation, and many international individual researchers, clinicians, and scientists.
