My Background: -Pharmacy Experience: Over 6 years of full-time work in Syria, 2 years in Saudi Arabia, and more than 4 years in the USA. - Cultural Insight: My diverse work history has given me a deep understanding of both Arabic and English-speaking cultures, allowing me to deliver translations that resonate with target audiences. I’m a pharmacist with over 10 years of pharmacy experience, including six years practicing as a pharmacist and several years in U.S. specialty pharmacy. My current role involves reviewing clinical documentation, interpreting treatment guidelines, preparing evidence-based prior authorization appeals, and communicating with healthcare providers and insurance companies across multiple therapeutic areas, including dermatology, oncology, rheumatology, gastroenterology, and neurology. My background has given me strong skills in medical literature review, critical appraisal of clinical evidence, and translating complex scientific information into clear, accurate, and engaging content. I pay close attention to detail, ensure all statements are evidence-based and properly referenced, and consistently meet deadlines. I am comfortable researching new topics, following a specific brand voice, and delivering well-organized, physician-focused content. I’m looking for a long-term collaboration where I can contribute high-quality medical writing while continuing to grow in the medical communications field.

I am a plastic surgeon in Chicago training to become an aesthetic surgeon. Plastic surgery is one of the most competitive fields in all of medicine - I am an excellent writer with countless first-author peer-reviewed publications in peer-reviewed medical journals. My interests are anything medical or surgical, particularly relating to plastic surgery, cosmetics, tissue engineering, wound healing, microsurgery, or trauma surgery. However, I am a physician and scientist at heart who can provide valuable work for any medical writing or marketing endeavor. I am also passionate about health and fitness and have a wealth of knowledge in these subjects. I also write for fun! I am fluent in medical terminology across all fields of medicine, and my training has given me an extensive breadth of medical/surgical knowledge across all fields of medicine. Furthermore, I am fluent in patient perspectives, translating complex medical information into lay terms, healthcare systems, clinical trials, and medical technology. I have several years of medical writing/editing experience for companies through UpWork ranging from topics regarding sexually transmitted infections to mental health diseases. I also have significant consulting experience and have helped companies develop medical devices.
