  • Cardiovascular disease (multiple indications)
  • Inflammatory and immunological disease (e.g., gout, multiple sclerosis)
  • Psychiatric disease (multiple indications)
  • Anti-infectives
  • Rare disease (e.g., Fabry disease, spinal muscular atrophy, primary hyperoxaluria)

Experience

I have a strong scientific and clinical background having gained an honours degree in Pharmacy (1995), completed a registrational hospital internship (1996), and obtained a PhD in biophysics (1999).

In 2001, I moved to New Zealand taking up a medical writing position at the Australasian Drug Information Service before moving to Australia in 2005 to engage in global medical communications. I am often asked to formulate the publication’s narrative and liaise directly with authors. Being a healthcare professional and having a data-driven PhD are extremely helpful, as are the enduring relationships I have formed with the MedCommsTech collective.
