Cultivating clarity. Elevating your message.
With more than two decades of experience in medical publishing, educational design, policy analysis, and professional communication, I understand the importance of clear, accurate, and accessible content. I edit with intention—strengthening structure, refining language, and helping writers and subject-matter experts communicate complex ideas with confidence, precision, and purpose.
Services
-
High-level editing for complex work where clarity, accuracy, and tone matter.
Whether it’s proofreading, substantive editing, or something in between, my focus is on strengthening structure and logic, tightening language, resolving inconsistencies, and ensuring your work communicates its message clearly to your audience—without losing your voice. From slide decks to lengthy analyses to patient education, I’m the partner you want to help you create clear, credible content.
-
Clear, accurate, evidence-based, audience-specific content across medical, policy, and professional education contexts.
My work includes patient education materials, clinician-facing articles, needs assessments, outcomes and assessment questions, and original pieces adapted from interviews, transcripts, or source research. I specialize in translating complex information into structured, accessible content without oversimplifying or losing rigor. I’m adept at developing a piece from scratch and reshaping existing material into a more effective format that meets your project goals, adheres to compliance requirements, and resonates with your intended audience.
-
Full-scale management of complex, high-stakes editorial projects.
I’m adept at keeping scope, schedule, and budget in check as well as nurturing the stakeholder relationships that are critical for doing so. This includes tasks such as generating content ideas; developing timelines; coordinating writers, editors, and reviewers; managing revisions and approvals; and—of course—applying editorial standards to all content.
-
Development and integration of customized AI tools into editorial workflows.
When used strategically, AI tools don’t replace human judgment, they enhance it. I embrace the ethical use of AI tools and focus on their practical applications: identifying where AI adds real value, designing editorial workflows that align with house standards; speeding monotonous, error-prone tasks; and creating prompts and guardrails that solve common editor pain-points. The result is more efficient, reliable editorial processes that preserve the integrity of the work—and the sanity of your editors.
