I started writing NAs full-time in 2009 for a medical education company that specialized in oncology. I incorporated my own business in 2014 and have been on my own for most of the time since then. My background in oncology deepened greatly during a 15-month sojourn in the continuing education department of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network.For the last 6 years I have been working with co-investigators and consultants to conduct survey research on best practices for writing NAs. We disseminate the results of our research at national meetings and regional workshops for medical writers and continuing educators. Some of our research has even found its way into CME Writer's Marketplace.I have a passion for continuing education, having earned a bachelor's degree in liberal arts from Harvard in 1978, a master's degree in journalism in 1992, and a master's degree in biology in 2018. I earned permanent certification as a board-certified editor in the life sciences (ELS) in 2008. I earned the CHCP credential in 2011 and am re-certified through 2021. In my first career as a newspaper reporter I won awards for public service and investigative projects. I transitioned into medical writing with help from the American Medical Writers Association, of which I remain an active member at the regional and national level. Currently I also volunteer as an active member of the Alliance for Continuing Education in the Health Professions.Thank you for your interest in CME writing!view less
