I'm Terry, a neuroscientist turned science communicator with four years of industry research experience in cellular and molecular neuroscience and psychiatric drug development. I help biomedical and healthcare clients turn dense, technical content into writing that's clear, credible, and actually readable - whether that's research summaries, medical writing, reports, or educational materials for specialist or general audiences. My background spans preclinical research, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and communicating complex findings to diverse stakeholders, so I understand both the science and the story it needs to tell. If you're looking for someone who can hit the ground running with biomedical content, I'd love to work together.
