Scientific + Medical Communications

I’ve worked in publishing, science writing, marketing communications, and medical affairs roles

My strengths include quick evaluation and summary of complex biological data, staying on top of the biomedical literature, and putting these together into concise, high-impact communications, particularly congress presentations and papers.
