Bio

    With over 12 years' experience in healthcare and medical communications, I've produced a wide variety of materials ranging from Pharma-sponsored digital news articles, to advertorials published in scientific journals, to detailed white papers for oncologists.

    My expertise as a freelance writer lies in medical journalism, editorial pieces, sponsored content, blog articles, and content strategy, though I've been involved in almost all types of medical writing project throughout my career.

    Therapeutic areas include: nutrition (allergies, intolerances, digestive health, IBS, food sensitivities, IBD - Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis), neuroscience (neurology, mental health), health psychology, dermatology, rare diseases (inherited retinal disease, immunodeficiencies), metabolic syndrome (diabetes, obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia), biological rhythms (sleep disorders, light therapy), fertility (pre-natal screening, IVF, pregnancy), and oncology (breast cancer, prostate cancer, blood cancers - multiple myeloma, leukemia).

    Projects I have experience delivering: CME materials, slide decks, speaker notes, webinars, sales training modules, posters, marketing materials, video scripts, white papers, long-form summary reports, conference materials, advertorials, blog articles, magazine articles, journalistic articles, email marketing, journal ads, leave behinds, press releases, brochures, websites, detail aids, and more.

    I’ve worked with many brands, including: Align, Amgen, Astellas, Bausch, Eli Lilly, Gilead, Johnson & Johnson, Metamucil, Novartis, Pfizer, Proctor & Gamble, Roche Diagnostics, Sanofi, and Valeant.
