About meI am an experienced professional medical writer and editor. Do you prepare evidence-based scientific publications? Do you have content experts but need a publications expert? That’s where I can help. I’ll help you communicate your science well.
Does your writing need clarity or focus? I can help. I’ll ensure that your publication—from a journal article to a grant application to an outpatient dialysis policies and procedures manual—is clearly written and has a consistent voice and style. I’m an expert in AMA style, but I can apply your organization’s preferred style. EducationI have a BS degree in animal science and a minor in technical writing and editing. I also spent 3 years in graduate school in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. I'm not just a language expert who edits in the science field or a scientist who has picked up editing. I'm a highly trained editor with an advanced science background.
I take continuing education seriously. I’m always working to improve my writing and editing skills (check out my Resources page for a few of my favorite writing and editing guides). Through conferences and webinars, I keep up with changes in language so that your publications meet the standards of inclusive language and comply with publishing guidelines.

My mission statement is to communicate science well--for healthy people and a healthy planet. I’d love to help you communicate your science. |
