PhD Life Scientist | Scientific Communications Specialist | Biotech Content Strategy | Genomics | Cell & Gene Therapy

Profile Summary

I am a Ph.D.-trained microbiologist and scientific communications specialist with expertise in translating complex scientific concepts into clear, engaging, and scientifically accurate content for diverse audiences. My work sits at the intersection of science, strategy, and communication, helping biotechnology and healthcare organizations communicate their innovations to healthcare providers, patients, commercial teams, investors, and regulatory stakeholders.

My background spans academic research, biotechnology startups, regulatory consulting, and genomics marketing. I currently support multiple biotechnology clients as a scientific communications consultant, developing scientific content, product messaging, educational materials, white papers, marketing collateral, presentations, websites, social media content, and visual communications. I am extremely proficient in designing marketing assets (one pagers, flyers, post cards, decks) using the Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop), Canva, and Claude Design, allowing me to combine technical accuracy with effective visual storytelling.

My subject matter expertise includes genomics, polygenic risk scores, in vitro diagnostics, precision medicine, cell & gene therapy, infectious diseases, rare disease, molecular biology, microbiology, and virology. My work with a regulatory consulting firm focused on FDA policy, and involved writing grants and PED-focused modules for regulatory submissions, developing educational programs for FDA reviewers, and delivering strategic guidance supporting the regulatory approval of C&GT therapeutics.

Prior to consulting, I earned my Ph.D. in Microbiology from the University of Chicago, where I led research on flavivirus biology and antiviral therapeutics, authored multiple peer-reviewed publications, and presented my work at national scientific conferences. My research experience gives me the ability to quickly understand complex scientific literature and accurately synthesize technical information into content that is both accessible and impactful.

Clients work with me because I bridge the gap between scientific rigor and effective communication. Whether creating educational content, scientific marketing materials, slide decks, white papers, manuscripts, or thought leadership pieces, I focus on producing content that is accurate, audience-appropriate, visually engaging, and aligned with strategic business goals.
