I am one of the few freelancers on this platform who can walk out of an ICU, write a peer-reviewed literature review, and design a SCORM-compliant e-learning module, all at the highest professional level. 10+ Years at the Bedside. 3 Graduate Degrees. Hundreds of Deliverables Completed. REGISTERED NURSE · PhD IN PSYCHOLOGY · MASTER OF PUBLIC HEALTH · INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNER · MEDICAL & ACADEMIC WRITER This is not a combination you find often. And it is exactly what sets every deliverable I produce apart. If clinical accuracy, academic rigor, and professional quality matter to your project, you are in the right place. I specialize in medical writing, academic writing, instructional design, and curriculum development for healthcare organizations, nursing schools, universities, publishers, and e-learning companies. Every deliverable I produce is grounded in real clinical experience and backed by graduate-level research skills. My work spans medical and health content development, academic writing, manuscript writing, research and thesis support, case study writing, systematic literature reviews, research publications, academic proofreading and editing, and instructional materials design. I have written and developed hundreds of NCLEX-style questions, critical care scenarios, CEU modules, exam banks, course modules, and full curricula for nursing and allied health programs. I also bring years of experience as a research writer, dissertation editor, thesis editor, academic proofreader, and academic specialist, helping students, educators, and professionals produce polished scholarly work that meets university, clinical, and publication standards. My clinical foundation includes perioperative and critical care experience across PACU, pre-op, post-op, ICU, OB, Labor and Delivery, and Pulmonary Stepdown, supported by certifications in ACLS, BLS, PALS, TNCC, and NIH Stroke Scale, with ongoing CEUs in critical care, airway management, hemodynamics, and anesthesia concepts. This background lets me produce health and medical writing that is not only academically sound but clinically relevant, practical, and current. Medical Billing and Coding During my hospital nursing career, I worked directly with medical billing teams to ensure clinical documentation supported accurate UB-04 institutional claims. This involved ICD-10-CM/PCS coding, DRG assignments, revenue code verification, and resolving discrepancies between clinical documentation and submitted claims in compliance with Medicare and Medicaid requirements. HIPAA and Compliance My HIPAA experience is hands-on. Throughout my nursing career, I handled Protected Health Information daily, documented in compliance with HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules, and managed proper PHI handling during interdisciplinary rounds, patient handoffs, and family communications. I have applied this experience to writing compliance training content for healthcare staff, including scenario-based modules that reflect how privacy issues actually occur in clinical settings. In the academic space, I provide proofreading and editing, developmental editing, content restructuring, and formatting support using APA 7 and other academic styles. My research workflow includes critical appraisal and evidence synthesis using JBI, CASP, and PRISMA frameworks, ensuring every manuscript, thesis, SLR, or case study is well-structured and grounded in credible sources. As an instructional designer and curriculum developer, I create outcome-based learning experiences using ADDIE, Bloom's Taxonomy, and Gagné's Nine Events. My services include curriculum development, course content writing, instructional design, assessment development, eLearning content creation, LMS-ready module development, simulation design, and learner-centered academic content for nursing, allied health, and healthcare education.
