Summary
Proactive problem-solver with approachable attitude, insightful critical thinking abilities, and meticulous eye for detail. After 18 years of experience in scientific and biomedical writing/editing, I am eager to join a big-hearted team working toward the kinder and more beautiful world that is surely on its way (yes I am an optimist!). I have gained effective leadership, collaboration and customer service skills through a variety of work and volunteer roles and I look forward to serving my local community as well as the larger human community in my next role.
