My medical writing and health journalism are top quality, and I deliver on a deadline. Writing for you would allow me to showcase my talents and utilize my years of education and experience positively. Also, I am a certified member of the American Medical Writers Association and the American Psychological Association. I have contributed to several sites including ParentsandTheirKids.com, BrainBlogger.com, ThruHikerCalorieCounter.com, MomsHealthyMarket.com, HealthEnclave.com, SteadyHealth.com, NewAcneSkinCare.com, and OrthopedicSpecialistsOfSeattle.com. I am also skilled in health writing with SEO. My work includes scientific and nonscientific medical writing. My personal website and freelance pages have many positive reviews. Since starting a career as a medical writer, I have NOT received one negative review to date. Professional references include Dr. Joel Young, M.D. and Dr. Sam Abi, Ph.D. I contracted for FekulaTestPrep.com to do all of their nursing related test prep courses. I received recommendation and approval from John Fekula for my work. You can hear the voice of experience well in my writing, as I have worked as a critical care nurse and a Family Nurse Practitioner for over 20 years. Currently, I am working on a Ph.D in Health Psychology. You can view my ability to research and write creatively in my portfolios on several freelance sites (eLance, iFreelance, GURU, and freelancer.com) and my personal website.
