About
Medical knowledge and writing expertise to help you reach your goals.
As a veterinarian, I worked in academic hospitals, general clinical practices, emergency departments, and research labs, so I deeply understand medicine and science. I also learned practical skills for communicating with various stakeholders.
I added professional medical writing to my skill set through comprehensive programs offered by the American Medical Writers Association, The University of Chicago Graham School, and others.
Leveraging these skills and knowledge, I help clients reach their goals and drive success.

Testimonials
I had the opportunity to collaborate with Kathy Adamson as a freelance medical writer, where she reviewed content for a CME/CE accredited medical education program. Kathy’s review was outstanding, delivered promptly, and maintained accuracy and relevance. I enthusiastically recommend Kathy for any medical writing projects that demand meticulous attention to detail.
