Why work with me

I'm a freelance writer and biotechnology consultant with a background in life sciences. I have experience in regulated industries. People often turn to me for tasks beyond formal job descriptions.

I can answer regulatory and scientific queries concerning products. My support helps validate regulatory and scientific information and condenses large amounts of technical information into easier-to-digest reports.

I have a strong life science education including a PhD in molecular microbiology, an MSc in pharmaceutical manufacturing technology, a BSc (Hons) in animal biology and an HND in horse studies from an agricultural college.

Sectors I work in

Biotechnology

Biotechnology concerns the application of science and technology to living organisms, parts, products, and models. It can be used to alter living or non-living materials to produce knowledge, goods, and services. I use my biotechnology understanding to work in other areas like life science, therapeutics and diagnostics, and the environment.

Life science

Life science is the study of living organisms and life processes. It concerns biotechnology, therapeutics and diagnostics, and the environment. It considers everything from the food we eat to the medical cures we seek to the plants and animals in our environment. Thirty-plus years of life science experience allows me to work in life science-related sectors.

Therapeutics and diagnostics

The pharmaceuticals industry produces medicinal drugs.

The medical devices industry develops products or equipment intended for a medical purpose.

Combination products combine drugs, devices, and biological products. Or drugs and devices. Or biological products and devices. Or whatever other combination you thought up.

All industries concern product manufacture, distribution, preparation, use, or sale.

Environment

The environment is all the living and non-living elements and their effects that influence life. The environment includes the built environment. The environment is the air, water, and land where humans, animals, and plants live. It includes the natural world that might be affected by human or animal activity. Environmental conditions can affect people, animals, and plants, and vice versa.

Scientific and technical writing

With experience in compliance, quality management and regulations

Jennifer was really great to work with. She brought huge energy and drive and was delivering results immediately. This required understanding of the science and converting it to industry ready material. She was completely self-motivated, only had to define the objectives and she produced the results time and again.
