Retired publishing professional with more than 3 decades of experience as a copyeditor, publishing consultant, and production expert for various fields, including medicine, academics, humanities, psychology, continuing medical education, and social sciences. An eye for detail and the ability to adhere to the four core values of editing—substance, style, conviction, and grace. More than 25 years of CME/CE experience and development of live meetings, print monographs, and interactive web-based initiatives. A strong history of collaboration with key opinion leaders in the United States and abroad in several therapeutic areas—pain medicine, anesthesiology, oncology, surgery, and primary care. I have worked closely with skilled medical writers, editors, project managers, adult learning experts, and accredited providers to devise effective educational platforms that present the most current and clinically applicable data with measurable outcomes. A history of working on education in pain management, including activities discussing opioid REMS, postsurgical pain, pain in patients with cancer, fibromyalgia, intrathecal therapy, opioid-induced constipation, and opioid abuse-deterrent technology.
