Hello! With a background in biology and public health, my passion and specialty is making complex health and science information understandable and relatable. I’ve successfully worked with scientists, clinicians, and other experts to share their vast knowledge and cutting-edge research with various lay audiences.
As a writer, I’ve produced targeted and engaging content for a variety of print and digital channels. From concise news and web content to tailored ghostwriting, I approach every writing project with an audience-focused mindset, thorough research skills, and a keen eye for details. As an editor, I not only provide meticulous proofreading services but also offer guidance on structure, style, and audience targeting.
