I am a writer in New York specializing in health, science and women's issues. In addition to journalistic assignments, I am available to nonprofits, foundations and others to write speeches, op-eds, letters to the editor, grant proposals, reports, newsletters, online content and other material. I am also available to ghost-write or co-author books.
I am well versed in consumer health, public health medicine and policy including HIV/AIDS, infectious disease and reproductive health, mental health, alternative medicine, environmental health and bioethics.
I offer the following communications skills:
Interviewing: I am a careful, patient and sensitive listener. I study the topic of an interview ahead of time, but leave the conversation open-ended to allow the details and color of a subject to emerge. I phrase questions diplomatically, and insist upon direct, straightforward answers.
Analysis: I understand how to interpret medical, scientific and policy research and what points are relevant to a given audience. I contextualize findings in their area of discipline and emphasize their broader implications.
Researching: I am detailed, methodical, comprehensive and accurate. I am familiar with databases including PubMed, LexisNexis, Accurint and PACER.
Writing: I write clearly and explain complex subjects in compelling layman’s terms. I am empathic, with a knack for unearthing telling anecdotes. I excel at short and feature-length pieces, opinions and essays.
Speed: I promptly identify the needs of a given project and execute them quickly.
Please e-mail me with queries. I look forward to hearing from you.
