Immunologist and medical writer

An immunologist by training, for the last decade, I’ve researched infectious diseases, global health, mucosal immunology, T cell therapy, and autoimmunity. I am especially interested in sexually transmitted infections, T cells, vaccines, and global (women’s) health, but continue to learn new therapeutic and disease areas.

As an experienced scientific writer, I’ve transitioned to full-time (regulatory) medical writing. I’m passionate about clear and engaging scientific communication and storytelling, and am skilled at distilling complex, technical content into clear and concise messages.
