I offer a unique blend of:

  • A PhD in Neuroscience and a deep understanding of many products and therapy areas.

  • An award winning writer adept at concepting from terrifyingly complex data.

  • The knowledge and expertise to deliver digital solutions for the real and virtual worlds.

  • From being Head of Copy to over 15 years in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry, I can hit the ground running.

WHAT I OFFER /

Whether you need a writer to deliver projects from start to finish over an extended period, cover annual leave for a week or two, recover a troublesome project or just be around to take the strain from time-to-time, I’m ready to help.

I’ve worked on advertising and disease awareness campaigns, sales materials, medical education modules, speaker briefings and slide kits, kids books, and patient support programmes. As much as I hate to admit it, I’m also a whizz a Veeva. I’m also very comfortable attending meetings and presenting to clients, whenever required.

Having been a Head of Copy, I recognise the need for freelancers to hit the ground running without taking up time and money onboarding themselves. I have worked on almost all therapy areas through the years, but below is a list of some I have worked on over the past year.

READY FROM THE OFF /

Need it now? We’ve all been there.
But with Area 39, whether it’s a reference pack,
detail aid or concepts, there are out-of-hours
time slots. Let the work be finished while you sleep.
