I have extensive experience as a medical writer and reporter, producing coverage from medical conferences for various healthcare publications and websites in both Canada and the US, on a variety of topics. I also have produced summary reports from pharmaceutical advisory board and consultancy meetings held in-person and online and collaborated on touchpoint sessions with medical communication agencies leading up to these meetings. I have helped create Powerpoint slide decks for meetings and edited slide content. Additionally, I have created patient content for non-profit healthcare organizations like Asthma Canada, Cancer Care Ontario, and the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada. I have also assisted healthcare professionals in drafting peer-reviewed papers. I have edited a patient handbook on managing hidradenitis suppurativa. I can do translation work and proofreading and editing to ensure meaning is consistent between English and French texts.
