What I'm looking for

I seek roles that combine neuroscience expertise and medical writing—developing manuscripts, translating research for broader audiences, and contributing editorial leadership within collaborative, impact-driven teams.

I am a Ph.D.-trained neuroscientist with postdoctoral experience and a track record of peer-reviewed publications in journals such as Scientific Reports and Cell Reports. I have worked as a freelance medical writer and manuscript editor and served as a Science Writer for a federal initiative, translating complex neuroscience research into clear, usable science communications.

I routinely perform manuscript development, peer review, and editorial duties, and I have been recognized for mentorship and conference presentations. I seek opportunities to apply deep domain expertise in neural stem cell research, transplantation studies, and neuroscience communication to support translational research and high-quality publications.
