PhD Scientific Writer | Expert in Life Sciences Publications, Grant Proposals & Manuscript Editing

Profile Summary

I’m a PhD-trained scientific writer and editor with deep expertise in life sciences and a proven track record of delivering high-impact publications and successful grant proposals. With over 25 peer-reviewed publications, white papers, and regulatory submissions to my name—and more than $25M in awarded grant proposals—I specialize in transforming complex scientific concepts into clear, compelling narratives tailored for academic, regulatory, and industry audiences. My recent work includes authoring SBIR grant applications, manuscripts for high-impact journals, investor decks, and white papers across oncology, drug development, medical devices and diagnostics. I’m skilled at coordinating with cross-functional teams, managing tight deadlines, and ensuring consistency, accuracy, and scientific rigor in every document.
