Professional/Personal Overview
As the former editor of several consumer and trade health and medical publications, I can easily transition between writing for both audiences. My experience has given me an insider’s view of how medical decisions are made, what studies are worth covering and why evidence-based medicine will change health reporting as we know it. A fly on the wall at medical conferences, I know how to translate a complex panel session on sleep apnea guidelines into a service piece on why parents should pay attention to their child’s snoring.
