About me
A few years ago I decided to hang up my lab coat and delve into the world of journal publications. My PhD discipline was in the field of neuroscience, completing it in 2013 in a joint collaboration with the University of Navarra, Spain and the University of Geneva, Switzerland. Since then I have been working as the editorial coordinator for the high impact journal, Journal of Hepatology. I recently left the Journal to pursue my career as a freelance scientific and medical writer.
Making these career transitions has opened my eyes to view science and medical communications in several perspectives; as the scientist or clinician, as the target journal or society, and of course as the medical writer. By immersing myself in my client's scientific journey I can integrate these perspectives into a cohesive, stimulating and accurate document.
English is my mother tongue. I am comfortable to write, edit and proofread a variety of clinical and scientific documents. I am consistent, articulate, and thorough in my work, with the principal aim of communicating effective and clear science to a varied audience.
This list is not exhaustive, my interests in science and my curiosity means that I am keen to take on projects in other scientific fields.
