What I'm looking for

I seek a role using scientific writing, communications leadership, and grant support to expand research impact, with collaborative culture and growth opportunities.

I am a scientific and medical writer with 15+ years of experience crafting clear, audience-specific content for manuscripts, grants, reports, and marketing materials.

I have led communications and marketing efforts for university research offices and national programs, redesigned newsletters and websites, and served as a national communications representative for multi-institution consortia.

My work includes grant review and support for NIH applications, developing brand standards and communication policies for hundreds of partners, and producing analytics-driven outreach to expand visibility.

I partner with scientists, physicians, and leadership to translate complex research into accessible content, build stakeholder engagement, and ensure editorial and publication quality.
