A professional writer and editor since 1998, I offer:

• Strong writing, editing, project management, and research skills, with a public-relations sensibility
• Versatility in topic, tone, and style
• The ability to translate dry or difficult concepts into understandable and engaging lay language
• Special expertise in writing about biomedical topics and higher education for a range of audiences, purposes, and publications
• A keen eye for detail—and the ability to identify and correct issues with spelling, punctuation, grammar, syntax, flow, and clarity
• The ability to work and communicate effectively with people from a variety of educational levels and backgrounds
• Experience in working with editorial staff, designers, photographers, and production staff to manage and execute projects

I have written about everything from:

• Artificial cartilage to courthouse security
• Transplant surgery to graduate programs
• Cell biology to concealed-carry permits
• Non-profit fundraising to the surgeon who saved the life of a DC sniper victim
• Women in math and IT fields to competitive target shooting
• Culturally sensitive health care to hurricane research
• Lemurs to defensive driving
