I have published more than 20 biomedical research articles. I was heavily involved in the writing and editing of these articles (and also in the writing of many other research reports). While living and working in Japan, I was employed as an English Editor in a patent translation service. Moreover, I was frequently the final stop in the editing process for several researchers in the research institutes in Japan where I was employed. As a teaching assistant in the School of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Queensland, I was responsible for marking and providing feedback on hundreds of student assignments. In 2016, I was employed as a Freelance Editor in the Medical Sciences. More recently, I have been employed as a Contractual Editor in the Pharmaceutical Sciences. During my work as an editor, I edited and rewrote hundreds of research articles relating to the biomedical sciences. Finally, I have been involved in writing several successful research grants in Ireland and Australia (and revising other grants in the US and elsewhere).

Originally a research scientist with a BSc Honours degree, I am accustomed to jumping in and teaching myself whatever is needed, such as AI model assessment, context engineering and vibe coding for the last couple of years. I'm an expert web researcher, including science and medicine, and do a lot of market research too. Please note I do NOT do telemarketing or any telephone-based lead generation. I work a lot with excel/google spreadsheets and deliver high quality information. I write and blog non-fiction, with expertise in science, health, well-being and environmental topics. Being highly proficient in English, I can also turn your ideas into text and edit your drafts. I work on Mac but can also use Linux and Windows.

I research complex topics and find the connections between them — the kind of work that takes most people days, delivered as structured, usable findings. I work best with clients who need more than surface-level results: podcasters building episode depth, journalists tracking a story, businesses mapping a competitive landscape, or anyone who needs to actually understand something. I take on projects where depth and accuracy genuinely matter. Deliverables are structured clearly in whatever format works best for you. I am transitioning from 15 years in high-end professional kitchens into research work full time. I bring the same standards from that environment — precision, reliability, and delivering under pressure — to every project I take on.
