Profile Summary

I've been writing for over 20 years to support medical companies, clinicians, patients, and buyers. With a clinical sciences research degree (PhD) and direct experience in real-world health clinics, I understand the audience as well as the science. I find the facts, then make them click. Medtech needs people to tell its stories and discoveries. When we get the stories right, those innovations improve lives. I'm here to help. I have particular expertise in neurology, neurosurgery, autoimmune disorders, spine and orthopedics, and chronic pain therapies; but I write on many topics. I create • copy for a wide variety of marketing collateral (usually clinician- or institution-facing) • needs assessments • slide decks • plain-language scientific documents • manuscripts • and other medical-scientific materials.
