About
Ailurophile. And another thing I love is helping scientists, MDs, and DVMs confidently inform fellow professionals about their noteworthy scientific findings through ghostwriting especially manuscripts and books, as well as posters, abstracts, PPT slide decks, and white papers. I have high emotional intelligence to successfully navigate the wide-ranging styles of colleagues in complex organizations; an ability to take scientific/medical information and distill to salient, understandable, and audience-appropriate content--verbal and written; and an awareness of to-do items and independently executes. Oh, I am a grammar nerd, too. Small proof: I have the Merriam-Webster app and always look at the word of the day--and frequently pin them to my favorites. Many favorites such that choosing my most favorite is difficult. Nonetheless, I do not practice circumlocution in writing.
