What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my medical writing skills while contributing to impactful clinical research initiatives.

I am a medical writer with over 4 years of experience in creating impactful medical content, particularly in the realm of clinical trial communications and patient recruitment. My expertise lies in translating complex scientific information into accessible materials that adhere to regulatory standards, ultimately supporting patient enrollment and retention in clinical trials.

Throughout my career, I have successfully collaborated with various agencies to develop high-impact recruitment campaigns. My freelance work has allowed me to create a diverse range of patient recruitment materials, including brochures, information booklets, and patient FAQs, while working closely with creative and project management teams. I take pride in my ability to produce high-quality written materials, as evidenced by the positive feedback I have received from clients.

In addition to my writing skills, I have a strong educational background, holding an M.Sc in Clinical Research and a Bachelor of Life Sciences in Biomedical Sciences. I am proficient in various software applications and adhere to established writing standards and guidelines, ensuring that my work meets the highest quality benchmarks.
