A talented scientific content writer, who can bring real value to your communication briefs.
I have 20 years' experience in the life-sciences sector as a molecular biologist, having had prominent scientific writing roles in both public health and the private biotechnology sectors. I have both a BSc and MPhil in Medical Microbiology, and I have an extensive portfolio, including academic publications, application notes, technical flyers, posters for biotechnology conferences, website content, scientific blog posts and a range of other collateral formats.
I am a great team player, having to regularly liaise with numerous stakeholders to ensure that all deliverables are met in a professional and timely manner, with research, attention to detail and accuracy critical skills in my career. I value clients with a strong work ethic coupled with a kind and fair working policy, as I bring the same level of respect and integrity to all my professional endeavours.
In my spare time, I privately tutor high-school, undergraduates and graduate students in the life sciences, and I also volunteer in numerous mentoring schemes, supporting students in the early stages of their professional journeys. I also regularly organise charitable sporting events, and have a love of music and reading.
I would be delighted to work for your company as a scientific writer. I have a passion for language and scientific translation, and together with my extensive expertise in multiple life-science sectors and a proven track record for working on marketing campaigns and generating high-level impactful technical collateral, I know I will be able to bring real value to your communication outputs.
Work Terms
How I will work with you:
Stage 1 - Determination of outputs required
I will have online meetings with all relevant teams (e.g., product marketing, marketing communications, research and development) as required to understand the specific requirements of each offering.
Stage 2 - Generation of first draft
I will put together an initial draft of the content and circulate these back to the relevant parties for their review. If necessary, during this stage I will touch base with any relevant team for clarification on any aspect of the content.
Stage 3 - Incorporation of comments and feedback
Depending on the nature of the output, I will generate the relevant number of revisions required, each time liaising with the relevant teams, and incorporating all comments and feedback as required in each round of revision.
Stage 4 - Final version
Following final feedback from the relevant teams, I will incorporate all changes required to the collateral, and return a final version.
I will work a typical working week (Monday to Friday, 0900 to 1730), though I am also happy to work beyond these times to meet tight deadlines if previously agreed. I would appreciate payment within 14 days of submission of the final, approved draft to yourselves.
I am happy to communicate via any platform, including WhatsApp, telephone call or virtual meeting (Zoom, MS Teams etc.)
