What I'm looking for

I’m seeking remote or hybrid roles in medical editing, scientific publishing, or med-comms, based in the Greater Vancouver Area.

At MedReport Foundation, I review medical articles for factual accuracy against primary literature, data integrity, and citation accuracy. I also assess structure and narrative flow before publication.

As Publisher & Editor-in-Chief at SAW Media Inc., I directed editorial operations across 38 issues and established quality checks that reduced post-publication errors by 30%. I edited approximately 250 health and wellness articles, making complex subjects such as PCOS, metabolic pathways, and endocrinology accessible without sacrificing accuracy.

I bring an MSc in Biochemistry and editorial experience alongside work as a volunteer peer reviewer for the AMWA Journal. My approach is to protect scientific integrity while making complex information clear, using AMA Manual of Style (11th Edition), CMOS, and AI-assisted editorial workflows with manual fact-checking.
