What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to bring my editorial expertise to scientific or medical publishing and communications.

At Omnicom Health Market Access, I edit and proofread medical content, fact-check claims and references, and check materials for FDA compliance. I also lead the night editorial workflow, coordinating assignments, coverage, and handoffs.

At Olixir New York, I oversaw a team of editors and freelancers while editing and fact-checking medical content across clinical subjects. I worked with editorial leadership on best practices, staffing, and team productivity.

At Razorfish Health, I supervised editors and freelancers supporting pharmaceutical brands, and edited and fact-checked materials related to oncology and rare diseases. I also prioritized work and evaluated editorial staffing needs.

At Digitas Health, I progressed from Copy Editor to Manager, Copy Editing and Senior Managing Editor. I expanded the department, created its handbook, helped adopt Adobe Workfront Proof, and introduced Jira to track projects.
