About Me
Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
I am a freelance medical writer and medical copywriter with over 18 years of experience in the healthcare sector. I am available to take on short- or long-term contracts.
As the owner-operator of Elion – a medical communications business based in New Zealand – I provide medical writing and medical copywriting support to medical communications agencies, healthcare advertising agencies, medical device companies, and pharmaceutical companies worldwide. I have a truly global business and currently work with clients in the United Kingdom, Japan, Malaysia, and New Zealand.
As a freelancer, I am able to adopt flexible working hours, while my southern hemisphere location enables me to provide an ‘around-the-clock’ writing resource for my European/UK/US clients – I work while you sleep!
I am experienced in the following therapy areas:
– Respiratory medicine (asthma, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis)
– Metabolic diseases (including diabetes)
– Neurology (multiple sclerosis)
– Oncology (predominantly breast and lung cancer)
– Airway management and anaesthesia (medical devices)
I write the following types of materials:
– Peer-reviewed publications (primary and secondary manuscripts)
– Conference materials (slide decks, posters, abstracts)
– Clinical summaries
– Product brochures, fact sheets and sales aids (print and digital), press ads, internal communications
– Website and digital media content
