Profile Summary

Experienced communicator with over 15 years' experience in life sciences and medical writing and editing. I have worked for clients in academia, industry, education, news, and marketing/PR. My experience spans web and print content, digital communications (email, social media, audio, video, virtual events), peer-reviewed journal articles and other academic documents, magazine and trade publication content, educational materials including CME/CPD, and industry specialties from whitepapers to e-books. Areas of expertise include oncology, pathology, infectious disease, genetics/genomics, molecular biology, biochemistry, and more; my clients range from pharmaceutical companies to science educators. I have completed undergraduate studies in biology, postgraduate studies in genetics and immunology, and doctoral research in medical biochemistry and molecular biology (specifically chromatin biology). I have additional training and expertise in pathology and laboratory medicine, business strategy and communications, design and layout, accessibility (including physical and digital), and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
