My approach
Every project starts with clinical context.
Before I write a single word, I research the clinical landscape, understand your audience's health literacy level, and align on the regulatory guardrails. That's what separates healthcare content written by a clinician from content that just sounds medical.
I've worked in acute care, long-term care, and community health — which means I understand the full spectrum of patient experience and the nuances that matter to clinical reviewers.
Have a project in mind?
I take on a limited number of new clients each quarter. If you're looking for a healthcare content partner who brings both clinical credibility and strategic thinking, let's talk.
