Notes:
- My specialist expertise is in metabolism, biochemistry, nutrition, and exercise science, with a focus on cardiometabolic diseases, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. However, I can provide services across a broad range of health and medical sciences and have worked on projects on cancer, immunology, inflammation, neurological diseases (dementia, Alzheimer’s), heart disease, reproductive health, and food/dietary supplements.
- I will only request co-authorship on journal manuscripts if, in addition to drafting or revising the manuscript, I make substantial contributions to the conception/design of the work or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data AND provide approval of the version to be published AND agree to be accountable for the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work I have provided. These criteria are based on ICMJE guidelines.
- This service is not available for student theses or dissertations.
Any questions?

My process
1️⃣ Initial no-cost consultation
🔸 Email me a description of your medical writing or data analysis project, including the word count (if relevant), the service you need, and your deadline.
2️⃣ Cost estimate
🔸 We will discuss the details by email/phone call/video chat to help me understand your needs and how I might help.
🔸 Then, I’ll email you a cost estimate along with an expected time frame, tailored to meet your deadline.
3️⃣ I get to work
🔸 If you agree to the project terms and confirm that you want to proceed, you email me your file(s) and I get to work.
🔸 When I’ve completed the work, I’ll email you the new file(s) and an invoice for payment.
4️⃣ Follow-up
🔸 If aspects of my work need clarification, I offer a no-cost follow-up communication to answer questions.
🔸 Repeated edits of files/documents beyond the initial follow-up will incur additional charges at the hourly or per-word rate, whichever is applicable.
