I am a research scientist with a first, second and third degree in microbiology, environmental microbiology and public health, respectively. My specialisation is in allied medical sciences and I have worked in a number of research units, medical research and academia. Over a career spanning about 25 years, I have had extensive experience in academic writing, medical writing, copy-editing and proofreading across various sectors.
Starting my career in oil & gas as an environment manager, I structured and edited corporate reports, bid documents and environment statements. Moving on to work with the government as a special assistant in environment and health, I authored and edited diplomatic reports and government papers.
I later went into academia as a lecturer, and supervised multiple master’s (MPH) and doctorate degree candidates. I continued as a consultant in international development projects in the areas of microbiology, public health and scientific research.
Being an academic writer, I have worked with words throughout my career, writing and editing technical reports, training manuals and producing high-quality scientific and corporate business documents. My clients have included government agencies, corporate organisations and publishers of scientific books and journals.
