Experienced Scientific Writer, Proofreader and Editor

Personal summary

I hold both a BSc and a Doctorate in Microbiology from the University of Edinburgh, and have spent the past 18 years working across the academic, commercial, and education sectors. My expertise lies in microbiology and molecular biology, with a strong foundation in scientific research, writing, and communication. I am an experienced scientific writer and regularly contribute to the proofreading and editing of manuscripts prior to publication, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and impact. Beyond academic publishing, I am deeply passionate about public engagement and science communication. I have written blogs and articles aimed at disseminating complex scientific concepts to broader audiences in accessible and engaging ways. This commitment to outreach reflects my belief in making science inclusive and understandable for all. Recently, I founded my own consultancy to support researchers, institutions, and businesses with scientific writing, project development, and strategic planning - particularly within the biotechnology and agricultural sectors. Through this venture, I aim to bridge the gap between scientific innovation and practical application, helping clients communicate their work effectively and develop future-facing projects with confidence.
