What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can combine medical writing and strategic research to inform product strategy, mentor teams, and drive high-impact scientific communication in collaborative, innovation-focused environments.

I am a medical writer and principal consultant with deep experience in scientific communications, market ecosystem research, and competitive intelligence. I founded and lead Dekaokto Solutions, delivering high-quality medical writing and strategic consulting for industry and academic clients.

My work includes authoring journal publications, conference abstracts, 14 educational modules, 200+ short-form articles, clinical trial materials, and funded grant applications. I have led and executed 35+ intelligence briefs as a manager and 75+ as an analyst to inform client decision-making.

I have a track record of applied research and editorial roles, including staff editor and reviewer positions, and prior research scientist and academic appointments. Clients value my ability to translate complex science into actionable insights and clear deliverables under tight timelines.

I combine scientific rigour from my PhD and postdoctoral training with practical project management and cross-functional leadership to drive impact in pharma, biotech, AI-in-life-sciences, and health services consulting.
