What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values creativity and collaboration, offering opportunities for growth and impactful work.

I am a dedicated writer and editor with a rich background in neuroscience and psychology, holding both a Ph.D. and an M.Sc. from McGill University. My career spans academic, medical, and corporate sectors, where I have honed my skills in crafting compelling content across various formats, including marketing copy, technical documentation, and academic manuscripts. My experience as an editor for prestigious journals and as a consultant has equipped me with a keen eye for detail and a passion for clear communication.

Throughout my professional journey, I have contributed to numerous projects, from developing educational materials for EdTech to writing feasibility reports for hospitality investments. My role as an Associate Director of Digital Content at Macmillan Learning allowed me to manage and launch innovative digital products, enhancing learning experiences for students. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to producing high-quality content that meets the needs of diverse audiences.
