Science writer with copywriting and proofreading expertise; writes for lay and academic audiences.

Profile Summary

I am an experienced science writer with over 15 years experience in academic research, pharma consulting and public health project management. As an academic, I prepared publications, as both first and senior author and in a more collaborative capacity, contributing to over 40 scientific publications of original research. In addition, I regularly wrote news stories for an online resource on fertility, genetics and assisted conception for a non-scientific lay audience. In my current capacity, I routinely write reports and papers for policy and government bodies. I have diplomas in proofreading and copywriting (both with distinction) and a science writing qualification. *** I do not work on individual student or homework-based assignments ***
