What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and values clear communication in healthcare.

I am a physician-writer with over 7 years of experience in medical documentation, educational material development, and literature analysis. My background in clinical care and public health communication allows me to bridge the gap between science and patient-centered care through effective writing. I have a strong passion for synthesizing medical research and authoring clinical case reports that align with regulatory standards.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and communicate complex medical concepts clearly. My experience includes drafting clinical protocols, summarizing clinical study reports, and creating bilingual health education content. I am committed to ensuring that medical documentation is not only accurate but also accessible to diverse audiences.
