Freelance medical writer combining extensive academic research in human genome mapping with over 13 years of medical writing. I work across a wide range of therapy areas and project types, for both in-person and virtual delivery.

- Clinical publications
- Podcast and webinar content development
- CME-accredited e-learning courses
- Needs assessments and topic selection
- Materials for courses and appropriate liaising with selected HCPs

An important aspect of my freelance work is to be able to work across many different therapy areas. To date these include:
- Oncology
- Haematology
- Diabetes
- Dermatology
- Infectious diseases
- Respiratory disease
- Rheumatology
- Neonatology
- Immunology

Experience
I have over 12 years of graduate/post-doctoral research experience (producing several publications in human genome mapping, sequencing, and gene identification techniques). I now combine this with over 13 years of medical writing experience in positions from medical writer to scientific lead. My roles at Fleishman Hillard, Open Health, Magdalen Medical Publishing and Liberum IME have given me experience in publications, general medical communication deliverables and the development of
CME-accredited e-learning courses.
I have a PhD in Human Genome Mapping (University of London, UK) and a BSc in Genetics and Cell Biology (The University of Manchester, UK).
