What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead or contribute to high-quality medical, scientific, or pharmaceutical communications where accuracy, clarity, editorial standards, and collaborative delivery matter.

I've supported medical and pharmaceutical communications at CoLab–Publicis, Real Chemistry, Caudex Medical, Aptus Health, and FCB Health, ensuring scientific accuracy, clear language, and adherence to AMA and client style.

At Caudex Medical, I edited and submitted clinical trial and review manuscripts to journals including the New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet. My technical editing was acknowledged in a published American Journal of Cardiovascular Drugs article, and I've also edited plain-language summaries for clinical research.

I've led editorial teams, managed up to seven direct reports, trained editors, maintained style guides, and built processes that support quality and deadlines. My background also includes healthcare marketing, insurance communications, journalism, and teaching college-level English writing.
