I am an independent medical writer with more than 20 years of scientific and medical writing experience. 

 

With a PhD in microbiology, I have the science background to quickly get up to speed in a variety of therapeutic areas. I can help you create educational materials such as disease state backgrounders, sales training materials, and pharmaceutical product launch kits. I have a great deal of experience navigating the medical-legal review process, understand experimental design, and know how tight turnarounds are often the case. 

Working in-house at CME and medical communications agencies taught me the importance of effective teamwork in order to deliver high quality materials. As such, my goal for every project is to become an efficient part of your team. Together, we can create high quality projects within your timelines.

My journey with medicine and microbiology began during a summer internship in a hospital laboratory. From there, I went on to earn a BS from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a PhD in Microbiology from Indiana University. My PhD thesis explored the functional and structural domains of the Caulobacter crescentus polar development protein PodJ.

 

Out of the office, I enjoy hiking with my family and finding new coffee shops.
