About

I am a PhD-trained biologist and scientific communications professional with extensive experience in oncology, immunology, molecular biology and translational research. Over the course of my career, I have developed peer-reviewed publications, scientific reports, manuscripts, congress materials, presentations and patents, always focusing on making complex evidence clear, accurate and useful for different audiences.

I also enjoy coordinating projects, organising workflows and supporting clients and collaborators in remote environments. More recently, I have worked in AI scientific evaluation and digital project management, assessing scientific content, identifying inaccuracies, creating challenging biology prompts and managing deliverables with care. I am comfortable working independently or with international teams, and I bring a friendly, structured and adaptable approach to every project.
