I am an evidence synthesis and curation scientist with over a decade of experience turning complex biomedical literature into clear, actionable insights that drive decisions in research and development, clinical, regulatory, and market access settings. My work supports clients across pharma, biologics, nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, and MedTech sectors, delivering reviews and analyses that stand up to both scientific and regulatory scrutiny.
What I do
• Systematic/Rapid Reviews & Meta-analysis: PRISMA/PRISMA-P–aligned protocols, PICO framing, PROSPERO registration, multi-database searches (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, ClinicalTrials.gov), dual screening, data extraction, quantitative synthesis, heterogeneity/sensitivity analyses.
• Evidence Appraisal & Grading: Risk of bias (Cochrane RoB 2, ROBINS-I), GRADE certainty assessments, evidence mapping, living reviews.
• Data Curation & Management: Search strategy design, de-duplication, ontology/keyword harmonization, reference management (EndNote/Zotero), screening platforms (Rayyan, Covidence, DistillerSR).
• Medical Writing: Structured abstracts, white papers, manuscripts, clinical/technical summaries, CERs (EU MDR), PMS/PMCF plans, protocols and SOPs—publication-ready and reviewer-friendly.

I am a research consultant, scientific writer, and data analyst with a PhD in Agricultural Sciences and over seven years of experience in livestock systems, greenhouse gas emissions, climate-smart agriculture, and applied research across Australia and East Africa.
I help clients turn complex scientific, technical, and data-heavy information into clear, well-structured outputs for research, policy, business, and development audiences. My background combines strong analytical skills, scientific writing, project design, data interpretation, and practical experience in agriculture, livestock production, environmental sustainability, and climate change mitigation.
I can support clients with:
Scientific and technical writing
Literature reviews, systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and evidence gap maps
Research proposals, grant applications, and concept notes
Data cleaning, analysis, interpretation, and reporting
Academic manuscript preparation and editing
Climate-smart agriculture and livestock systems consulting
Greenhouse gas emissions, methane mitigation, and sustainability reports
Monitoring, evaluation, and learning documents
Training manuals, farmer guides, and extension materials
Policy briefs, technical reports, and donor reports
I have worked on government- and industry-funded research projects involving livestock greenhouse gas mitigation, feed additives, methane measurement, animal productivity, farm-level adoption, and climate policy relevance. I am experienced in translating research findings into practical recommendations for scientists, industry partners, policymakers, farmers, and development organisations.
My technical strengths include:
Experimental design and research methodology
Quantitative data analysis using R and Excel
Mixed models and treatment comparison studies
Scientific interpretation of biological and agricultural data
Evidence synthesis and literature review methods
Technical report writing for research and development projects
Editing and restructuring manuscripts for journal submission
I am particularly suited to projects involving agriculture, livestock, climate change, food systems, sustainability, environmental science, international development, and applied biological research. However, I also support broader academic and technical writing projects where clarity, structure, evidence, and analytical thinking are required.
