ABOUT
I’ve worked in science and medical communications on a freelance basis for five years. Before moving into communications full time, I completed my PhD in life sciences—where I was developing targeted treatments for cancer and infections. I’ve worked across biotech and healthcare, positioning me well to create content for different audiences. I love digging into the literature, turning complex science topics into engaging, accessible, and high-quality content backed up by thorough literature reviews and reliable sources. I work with charities, businesses, and academic clients to create written and visual content for technical and general audiences, including patients, researchers, and clinicians.
PORTFOLIO
WRITING & EDITING

'Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease — smartphones could help improve patient outcomes' in npj Digital Medicine. We have developed a diagnostic test for acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease using cough-sound analysis and simple clinical features.

The gut and skin share common features: both act as barriers to the outside world, protecting harmful substances from reaching the internal environment of the body; and both are lined with their own community of microbes (known as the microbiota)....Along with its microbiota, the inner workings of the gut can impact the skin. Here, we explore how the gut can influence skin health and disease.
