Specific projects

I am a highly experienced science editor, having worked for almost 10 years for Biotext, a science information consultancy. I have a strong background in science, with a PhD in biochemistry and 20 years’ experience as a scientist. My science career included working in medical laboratories in Paris and Scotland, and 10 years lecturing at the University of Harare in Zimbabwe.

I work closely with clients to produce documents that are clear, concise, credible and appropriate for their intended audience. I also have a strong interest in sustainability and I attempt to reduce my environmental footprint by reducing, reusing and recycling
