Freelance Writing Portfolio

I’m a freelance writer, editor, and content strategist with a PhD in Biomedical Science and a restless curiosity that has taken me from biopharma pipelines to food safety regulations, cancer research to content marketing. My core skill is the same regardless of sector: taking something complex, layered, or unfamiliar and making it compelling for the right audience. I’ve written white papers, content marketing, physician guides, and thought leadership for organizations ranging from health tech startups to national nonprofits, and I’m always open to the next interesting subject.

Food Supply Chain

The food system is as complex as any scientific field, involving regulation, logistics, supply chains, community impact, and the humans at every step. My background in science and systems thinking translates naturally here: I bring the same rigor and curiosity I applied to cancer research and health tech to stories about how food is made, distributed, and experienced. Whether it’s regulatory challenges, production innovation, food security, or the cultural stories behind what we eat, I write content that connects the technical to the deeply human.

Hormel Foods

Working with Attention Span Media, I’ve written for Hormel Foods across a range of content that reflects the full complexity of a major food company, from production logistics and operational innovation to community investment and employee stories.

Science & Medical Writing

With a PhD in Biomedical Science and hands-on experience across laboratory research, competitive intelligence, marketing agency, and tech startup environments, I write science and medical content that’s both rigorous and readable. I’ve produced white papers, clinical guides, marketing decks, research reports, and patient- and physician-facing materials for health nonprofits, biopharma companies, and health tech organizations. Additional samples available upon request.

Mothers’ Milk Bank California (MMBCA)

I partnered with MMBCA to produce the first comprehensive report on the State of Human Milk Banking in California, documenting progress and ongoing challenges in maternal and infant health across the state. I also developed a suite of donor human milk guides tailored to distinct audiences: families navigating the decision, healthcare professionals advising them, and hospital executives evaluating implementation.

Jacobs Institute

I wrote about the next big trends in cancer research and treatment, as part of the Attention Span Media team working on the Future of Health Report. I also moderated a panel on the topic in Boston, MA.

American Kidney Fund

I created a physician guide on hyperkalemia for the American Kidney Fund, working with Speaking of Science.

Content Strategy & Marketing

Content strategy is about more than producing good writing. It’s about understanding your audience, your market, and your goals, and then building content that serves all three. I bring a strategic lens to every project, shaped by years of hands-on experience, as a competitive intelligence analyst tracking oncology pipelines, as a Senior Content Strategist building editorial programs from the ground up, and as a writer who regularly develops content for multiple distinct audiences within a single engagement. Whether you need a one-off piece or a longer-term content partnership, I think in systems and impact, not just sentences.

Doximity

At the health tech startup Doximity (now public), I served as Medical Content Editor and later Senior Content Strategist, helping to launch the Op-Med blog, building and managing a team of physician editorial fellows, and developing several recurring content formats including Conference Exclusives, Research Q&As, and a Medical Humanities series. I also launched the Op-Med podcast, wrote product marketing content for new features, and used SQL to analyze readership and inform content strategy.

Science Communication

My science communication roots go back to my time as a cancer researcher and PhD candidate at UCSF, where I discovered that making science meaningful to real people was just as important and just as rigorous as doing the science itself. I went on to serve as Editor-in-Chief of the UCSF Synapse, covering topics from health insurance policy to end-of-life care, and co-founded Bone Lab Radio, a podcast exploring the science of bones through storytelling.

The ability to communicate science clearly has had measurable impact: I achieved a 100% grant award rate during my time at UCSF and have since helped other scientists get papers accepted and proposals funded. I’ve also developed educational content for Ed Tech companies like Anatomage to train the next generation of scientists.
