Would your clinic, health platform, or writing project benefit from a medically trained professional who blends clinical precision with empathetic communication, calm support, and editorial finesse? With 20+ years of experience as a surgical and clinic nurse at Kaiser Permanente, my insight earned from thousands of real-life patient interactions will support your projects. From procedure rooms to post-op care, your content, admin systems, or written work will be grounded in both medical accuracy and clarity — no need to explain the difference between an IV and an EKG or how to talk to a patient who’s scared. Your projects may also benefit from my broader passions: solo travel across Europe, the study of French and other languages, a lifelong love of reading and storytelling, a sharp eye for tone and detail, plus a music degree in the string bass. That background helps me communicate in a way that’s both technically sound and deeply human — supporting professionals, patients, and writers alike. Continue reading for specific ways I can help your work thrive and your message land with clarity and care. ~Medical Writing & Patient Education~ Healthcare communication demands more than textbook knowledge — it requires compassion, discernment and the ability to meet readers where they are. By helping patients navigate surgery, recovery, and outpatient care for decades, your educational materials will reflect the real needs and real questions people face when dealing with procedures, diagnoses, or important wellness decisions. Whether it’s a one-sheet for clinic patients or long-form health content for a broader audience, your readers receive calm, easy-to-understand information that empowers rather than overwhelms. Combining my nursing background with strong skills in health copywriting and patient education means you’ll get content that serves both your audience and your team. Having guided thousands of patients through pre-op jitters and post-op instructions, your projects will benefit from medical writing that turns fear into understanding — and instructions into action. Let’s work together to create patient-facing content that supports understanding, confidence, and better outcomes. Please see my portfolio for more examples of my work. ~Medical Virtual Assistant & Healthcare Admin Support~ Behind every great provider, wellness program, or telehealth platform is someone who keeps the details on track and the tone aligned. Navigating 20+ years in my career managing clinical workflows, reviewing medical transcription, and supporting patients in high-pressure settings, your practice will benefit from a medical virtual assistant who already understands the pace and privacy needs of care delivery. From refining clinical document review materials to transforming post-visit notes into checklists or plain-language summaries, you can count on my initiative and adaptability to your tasks. With firsthand knowledge of HIPAA compliance and administrative processes, expect projects with less overwhelm for you and your clients alike. Day in-day out through decades in clinical environments, your administrative workflows will gain a trusted assistant with real-world judgment, calm communication, and deep familiarity with healthcare admin support systems. If your project needs a VA who is detail-oriented, kind under pressure, and fluent in health operations, let’s talk. ~Beta Reading & Proofreading for Impact~ As a lifelong book lover, narrative listener, and self-proclaimed grammar sleuth, you’ll receive feedback that’s precise, encouraging, and deeply attuned to voice and rhythm. Bringing a lifetime of editing instructions, summaries, and patient guidance, your writing will benefit from line editing and content editing that balances clarity with compassion — whether you’re working on a novel, a blog, or a coaching program. If you’re looking for someone to review your writing with both care and candor, I offer beta reading and grammar editing that supports your story, in your voice, while catching what others miss. Let’s take your work from draft to polished — with thoughtful critique, technical clean-up, and a focus on flow. If you’re ready for feedback that’s kind, honest, and sharp as a scalpel, I’m here to help bring your project to life.

Pre-'Upwork', I edited and proofread two very different genres (one science-fiction and one autobiography) for my friends who eventually published! And, as a teacher, I have gained a lot of experience correcting ESL students' writings, so I believe editing/proofreading is right up my ally. I am very interested in becoming more skilled in the areas of writing, editing and proofreading (especially writing-- both technical and creative), and believe my time with Upwork (and working with you!) will accomplish that. I have a strong desire for learning new things and teaching others. I have a great passion for the Bible, Science/Physics/Astronomy, Science-Fiction, and Technology (with the occasional conspiracy theory thrown in, for good measure). I was in the U.S. Air Force for four years and fixed airplanes for eight years. So, I have a plethora of military and mechanical knowledge. In addition, I was a Private Pilot for about six years, so I have a decent amount of Aviation knowledge too (I also taught Aviation English to two ESL Air Traffic Controllers). I have independently built a sustainable, eco-house; so, I guess I could add that to my "skills" as well. I look forward to working with you, wherever I might fit in! P.S. My work is 100% human.
