I bring experience in translating complex research into accessible messages for public audiences, helping organisations increase visibility, inspire trust, and foster understanding of healthcare innovations.

Scientific Writing & Scientific Communication

I have extensive experience in academic and scientific writing, ranging from peer-reviewed research articles to grant proposals and scholarship applications. My work demonstrates both precision in technical detail and clarity in communication, ensuring that complex ideas are presented in a persuasive and accessible way for reviewers and stakeholders.

Grant Proposal Writing

I have contributed to the preparation of successful grant proposals by integrating robust scientific rationale with clear research objectives, budgets, and impact statements. My interdisciplinary background allows me to align proposals with funding priorities, ensuring that applications highlight innovation, feasibility, and translational impact

Academic and Scientific Writing

My research has been disseminated through high-quality publications, conference abstracts, technical reports, and regulatory documentation. I have written extensively on topics such as spectroscopy, medical device development, and biomechanics, always with a strong emphasis on clarity, rigour, and reproducibility. I am also skilled at transforming highly technical information into formats suitable for non-specialist audiences, supporting public engagement, stakeholder communication, and industry collaboration.

Scholarship Applications

Throughout my academic career, I have supported and mentored students and colleagues in preparing scholarship applications. This includes refining research proposals, strengthening personal statements, and tailoring submissions to funding body requirements, helping applicants to communicate their potential effectively.
