About Me

Melbourne, Australia
I have an unwavering passion for the clear communication of complex scientific and medical concepts to a broad and varied audience. Put simply, I love to write!

As a medical writer with over 15 years of professional experience and expertise in medicine, science and healthcare, I am committed to ethically and effectively communicating science and medicine to key stakeholders.

I am the founder and Director of Whipbird Communications (www.whipbirdcomms.com.au), providing comprehensive medical writing services, tailored document review tools guided by best practices to promote quality, integrity and excellence in medical writing deliverables, and an education platform focused on professional development training in scientific and medical writing.

I have written over 200 scientific manuscripts and scientific research grants in multiple therapeutic areas with extensive experience writing about science, medicine, healthcare, clinical trials outcomes, medical devices, and clinical, scientific, medical, biomedical and translational research. I am also skilled at transforming highly technical scientific and medical content into abstracts, posters and slide sets, among other deliverables.

I am a leader in medical communications demonstrated by my experience recruiting, managing, training and supporting a team of medical writers and project managers to drive the timely preparation of exceptional medical writing deliverables.

I am committed to education and mentorship in the field, developing unique tailored tools to increase efficiency and promote quality, integrity and excellence in medical writing deliverables guided by best practices, and developing and leading an innovative education platform focused on professional development training in scientific and medical writing underpinned by providing practical tools, expert instruction and transformative learning.

I am passionate about building and nurturing strong and lasting partnerships with diverse stakeholders.
