EXPERIENCE
...as a consultant...
For
nearly 15 years I operated as a consulting writer, and for the past 6
it has been a full-time operation. The Quill Consulting, LLC offers a
variety of services based on
my consulting experience with a number of institutions, some of whom
include:
Abbott Laboratories Advanced Concepts Institute Aesthetic Surgery Journal Boston University Medical School Congress of Neurological Surgeons DBC Pri-Med Foley and Lardner, LLP Gullapalli and Associates, LLC Harvard
University Independent Medical Education Companies (several) Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America
University of the Sciences in Philadelphia
With these institutions, I have composed
and/or edited articles for publication, journal supplements, grants/proposals,
needs assessments, monographs, test questions, guidelines, presentations,
executive summaries, reports, and many others. Forging these relationships with
a variety of people at a variety of companies has been what I've enjoyed most
about being a consultant.

...as a full-timer...
In addition to various freelance
positions, I have held full-time positions as a medical writer/editor/professional at a
number of professional institutions. These include:
Auburn Memorial Hospital CorbettAccel Healthcare Group
DBC Pri-Med Emergency Care Research Institute
HealthCore, Inc
Kenmore Mercy Hospital Similar
to my freelance work, these companies have helped me gain a strong
foundation of science and writing skills encompassing everything from
medical devices to marketing to pharmaceuticals to experience in the
clinical and patient care setting. Having been a full-time employee for
more than a decade, I gained an invaluable understanding of the
needs of profit and non-profit businesses, and can aim my efforts at
providing exceptional value for both new and established firms alike.

...as a student...
Some
of the most satisfying experience I have attained has been in academic
settings. I enjoy school and I love learning. A Masters degree in
Biological Sciences (ALM) from Harvard University complements my work
experience experience in medical communications and education, while a
Masters degree in English from Northwestern
University has offered me strong writing, editing, and grammatical
skills that I apply to every project that crosses my desk.

| --EXPERIENCE-- Through
various full-time and freelance positions in medical writing,
editing, and marketing, I am comfortable taking on nearly any project.
I have specialties, but also appreciate a challenge; I have grown
to be able to quickly ramp up in any area.
Graduate degrees in
English and biology, and undergratuate studies in economics, English
and the sciences have provided me with a practical educational
foundation that I have used again and again as a freelancer.
