About Me
Sydney, Australia
I am a Medical Writer and Patient Education Specialist and a proud member of the Australasian Medical Writers Association (AMWA). With a solid academic foundation in Medical Science and Pathology, I specialise in bridging the gap between complex clinical data and patient understanding. My mission is to translate intricate scientific research into accurate, clear, and trauma-informed content that improves health literacy and empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their well-being.
My expertise spans a broad range of therapeutic areas, including women's health (menopause, perimenopause, and Endometriosis), chronic diseases (autoimmune conditions, epilepsy, and diabetes), and preventive health. I leverage a modern, tech-forward workflow, incorporating advanced AI synthesis tools such as Elicit and NotebookLM to accelerate literature reviews and ensure every project is grounded in rigorous, evidence-based research.
By streamlining the research phase, I focus on crafting empathetic narratives using plain-language techniques and person-first communication. I am committed to a "people-first" approach, ensuring that health information meets patients and caregivers where they are, with clarity, respect, and a genuine focus on supporting better patient outcomes.
