I have worked in healthcare communications for 15 years, after I started a PhD program in microbiology and realized pipetting very tiny things into tiny tubes was not my thing. As it turns out, I love writing about science a lot more than doing it! I worked in pharmaceutical advertising for many years before transitioning to medical education. 

​

I love to "dive into" data to craft an engaging and strategically sound story for professionals or patients.  Whether I'm writing a summary of an advisory board or a training program for sales reps, I believe medical writing has the power to spark new ideas, drive innovation and, ultimately, serve patients. 

​

I am certified in Essential Skills by the Americal Medical Writers Association. I adhere to the AMWA code of ethics.

I live in Denver, Colorado with my husband and a hairless cat named Raisin.

 

 

 

What the heck is an MWC? 
The MWC credential identifies professional communicators who have essential competencies required for the work of a medical writer. The American Medical Writers Association and the Medical Writing Certification Commission created the certification program to advance medical writing as a professional discipline by identifying and testing the knowledge, skills, and abilities that are essential to this type of work and by encouraging continued professional growth of medical writers. Those who earn the MWC® credential are required to adhere to a code of ethics and professional standards. Why is it not CMW? I'm not sure but I'm guessing the Certified Midwives got there first.
