Meet the monsters

When I kept nodding off in front of the flow cytometer during my PhD, I realised I needed a change of scenery! Yearning for a role blending my love of science and writing, I stumbled into Med Comms.

My Med Comms journey began at a top medical education agency, where I unearthed my passion for creativity and the written word. Transitioning to healthcare advertising, I developed my skills in creative and conceptual copywriting. Since then, I’ve gained experience across the spectrum of medical writing. With a rich background, I’ve spearheaded campaigns in diverse therapy areas, from anaemia to medical aesthetics, reproductive health, and type 1 diabetes.

I am deeply passionate about making every piece of writing clear, compelling, and kind, ensuring our clients receive meaningful and forward-thinking solutions.

Biology was a fascination to me throughout school, which led me to eventually complete a PhD and post-doctoral research at the University of Manchester. Crafting stories from my own scientific research was perhaps more rewarding than my findings were!

I’ve worked on countless therapy areas over the years, including cystic fibrosis, CVD, haematology, oncology and virology. I’ve been lucky to be involved in a mix of projects, including standalone meetings and symposia; peer-to-peer educational programmes; congress materials; advisory boards; salesforce training materials, and publications.

Despite being in the industry for some time, I still love learning about all aspects of healthcare, building lasting relationships and the satisfaction of seeing my content come to life.

As a Principal Medical Writer and skilled healthcare communications professional, I bring over a decade of experience to my projects. My journey began with a bioscience degree, specialising in the fascinating area (to me!) of genetic diversity in food crops.

Throughout my career, I have crafted capitvating content for diverse healthcare audiences, seamlessly transitioning between digital, print and even virtual reality platforms. My experience spans a wide range of therapy areas, from aesthetics to cardiology, fertility, haematology and beyond.

My strengths are in distilling complex information into clear, concise messaging, developed through years of experience in both the medical writing and digital teams at healthcare communications agencies. I love to tackle broad strategic vision while also finessing the details of each project.

Whether it’s a website or detail aid, I consistently deliver high quality content that resonates with my audience.

I completed my PhD in regenerative neuroscience and then went on to post-doc in an oncology lab for 4 years, but I quickly realised I wasn’t quite “green-fingered” enough for lab work. What I truly loved was the scientific story telling!

Over my career as a medical publications writer, I’ve written manuscripts and congress materials on asthma, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, CVD, HIV and BPD. I’ve worked across everything from Phase I–III trials, pharmacokinetics studies, patient and physician surveys/HEOR, plain language summaries, patient education materials, to podcast manuscripts. I am a Certified Medical Publication Professional (CMPP™), committed to upholding the values of transparency and good ethical conduct in medical publications.

While I love getting stuck into the data and the hard-core science, I believe that with the right approach, medical research findings can (and should!) be accessible to everyone.

While completing my B Biotechnology (First Class Honours) and a PhD in Molecular Microbiology at the University of Technology, Sydney, I fell madly in love with science communication, dedicating all my spare time to teaching and promoting science to everyone.

Throughout my writing adventures, I have worked on a range of materials from slide decks and e-learning modules to peer-reviewed publications, congress materials and website copy. I am passionate about using SEO to ensure web-based medical and scientific content seen and understood by all. My specialist therapy areas include microbiology, infectious diseases, and immunology – but what I love most about medical writing is the opportunity to learn about new areas of research.

I live to take complex scientific information and transform it into an understandable and memorable story that causes a change in the way people think about and use science.

While pursuing an MSc in Oncology, I realized that I belonged typing away at a keyboard instead of at the workbench. So, I applied my background in Biomedical Sciences to the field of Medical Communications, starting my first job in 2021.

Throughout my journey as a medical writer, I’ve written a range of medical and public awareness materials (promotional and non-promotional congress materials, e-mails, eDetails, slide decks, leave aids, websites, video scripts, ad boards) and participated in the delivery of marketing and medical affairs campaigns for different brands. Though I have worked across many other therapy areas, most of my experience spans oncology, immunology, and diabetes, and these are therapy areas I’m quite passionate about.

As an avid learner and curious writer, I’m happy to take on any challenge that comes my way, and keen on creating content that patients, healthcare professionals and other stakeholders can easily read, understand and, most importantly, remember.
