health content can get weird. don’t let it happen to you. stretch your words to their full potential instead.
If your health content did exactly what you wanted, what could happen?
You could convert that potential client whose finger is hovering over her phone screen. You could secure an elusive grant, publish an impactful paper, or deliver powerful information at the exact moment your reader needs it most. You could truly connect with your audience.
Let’s make it happen. As a seasoned writing and editing pro, I’m here to turn your medical, science, or wellness project into an electrifying win.
“You are the best medical writer I have ever met.” – J. K., a former supervisor
let’s get to the heart of what your audience needs
Of course you want to avoid bad writing (like the plague!) But how? By putting a finger right on your audience’s pulse. Understand what they want and need, and you’re golden. That’s why I rely on evidence-based strategies to whip your words into shape. Here’s how valuable that can be:
- When you add a good blog to your site, your ROI stands to increase 13x.
- 70% of your audience would rather read useful content than see your ads

3 things I do to make your health content click
Despite tons of great writing tools, connecting with your readers still takes a human touch. Especially with health and wellness content, which requires both accuracy and relatability. So here’s how I give you a hand:
#1: I craft a stand-out piece, top to bottom
First I listen to make sure I know what you mean. Then I tap into my cross-disciplinary expertise to deliver a product that performs beyond expectations. Research, SEO optimization, proofing…I obsess about it all.
#2: I take your words from “meh” to “wow”
Dozens of classes, hundreds of projects, thousands of hours writing and editing…it all adds up in your favor. Wouldn’t it be nice to have an expert who cares about both performance metrics and polish on your side?
#3: I push your content way past ChatGPT
Sure, AI makes it much easier to create affordable content. But when you want better than “good enough,” I step in to fact-check, verify citations, and add a warm human tone so your words can get to work the right way.

Great question! I’m biased, of course, but partner with me if you’re seeking a content writer with:
- Education. Only 1.7% of content writers have a STEM Ph.D. I’m one of them. Plus, I throw in a writing MFA for good measure. So you get competitive rates with an extra side of know-how.
- Cross-disciplinary chops. From 10+ years working in academia, non-profits, start-ups, and the Federal sector, I’ve gained deep understanding of a wide range of content needs from the inside out.
- Passion for every project. I love to connect with others through words. Rest assured I’m driven to help your content reach its full potential.
