Freelance editor with 10+ years experience in molecular, cell and developmental biology

Profile Summary

Welcome! I am currently a freelance editor with over 10+ years of scientific editing for peer-reviewed manuscripts, scholarships and competitive research grants. In 2017 I earned my PhD at McMaster University, where I studied the molecular causes of intestinal diseases. This passion followed me into my postdoctoral research fellowship, where I currently study the application of probiotics to treat intestinal diseases in infants. Awarded for my ability to communicate science effectively, I am skilled at communicating complex scientific concepts (both orally and written) to audiences with varying levels of expertise.
