What I do . . .

Think about the rigor you apply to every aspect of study design and analysis, finally culminating in successful publication. You labor over your grant for months, coming up for air only to eat or teach.  I bring the same intensity to how you communicate your findings. Don't worry about getting your thoughts exactly right¾get the key points down and I can manage the rest. If you haven't worked with an editor before you may wonder how I do that.

Medical research communication follows a fairly standard formula, whether it's a manuscript, grant, scientific poster or slide kit. My background is in science and health¾I speak the language and understand your audience. In fact, fresh out of grad school I was lead investigator and author for a published study. I'll treat your work as if it's my own.

Your research is worth it.

I am writing in first person because that is my busines model - a boutique-style, full-service scientific communications consultancy. My clients have come to me entirely by referral, and many of them are friends and mentors. I do not subcontract any work, however large or small the project. Your research is worth putting its best foot forward.
