I write health, medicine, business, and parenting stories for journalism and content marketing clients.

Every word I write—be it snappy or serious, formal or friendly—is accurate, supported by thorough reporting and scientific evidence, informative, and engaging. I’ve written copy for patients, physicians, customers, and clients, and I can tailor the writing to reach and connect with your intended audience.

I’ve interviewed thousands of people over my career and can talk to anyone about nearly any topic. Through stories, anecdotes and great quotes, all backed up with research, analysis, and insight, I’ll deliver copy that’s clear, interesting, and a good read.

I cover various topics, including:

  • diabetes
  • cancer
  • reproductive and women’s health
  • physician professional development
  • patient advocacy
  • healthcare, including telehealth, telemedicine, electronic medical records (EMR), and electronic health records (EHR)
  • children’s health
  • general parenting
  • parenting kids with special needs
  • small business

My clients include journalism publications and websites, professional associations, schools, marketing agencies, and corporations. The American Society of Journalists and Authors featured how my personal experience informs my medical writing. And here’s a Q&A with me for DiabetesHealth.com.
