Professional Experience

After nearly 10 years in healthcare communications, I specialize in translating complex, scientific subjects into simple and creative formats for all audiences. I can manage multiple projects with competing deadlines and have experience writing and editing articles, announcements, press releases, executive video scripts, email newsletters, blast campaigns and web content, and have worked on the design and content of both print and web publications. I can also bring humor to any project! I'm co-creator of a healthy kids lifestyle comic: http://adventuresofadiposemax.com
