Profile Summary

Medical writer with 10+ years of experience in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. I am a physician scientist (MD PhD) with over 15 years experience in medical affairs, medical marketing, product launches, business development and drug development in academia, hospitals, pharmaceutical, medical device, molecular diagnostics & biotechnology companies. I have written scientific papers in top universities, successful grant applications, medical communication strategy & pieces for pharma product launches as well as promotional scientific pieces for physicians and lay persons. I have launched and successfully obtained multiple state & federal grants for a biotechnology company. Other accomplishments include project management of global teams in multimillion dollar product launches and effectively using medical/clinical knowledge and leadership to consistently maximize product market penetration and expansion for business growth and profits. I develop and execute communications strategies that help medical organizations establish credibility and thought leadership, drive desired actions from their audiences, and grow their enterprises. I also improve strategy, decision making, and content creation for groups working alongside the healthcare industry (e.g. institutional investors, law firms, public relations and marketing agencies).
