I am an award-winning writer focused primarily on health and medicine, and skilled at communicating complex information to both consumers and health care providers. I have written news articles, blog posts, feature articles, newsletters, and online courses, and recently co-authored The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Vaccinations.
Other health topics I have covered include pediatrics, nutrition, emergency medicine, and medical technology. I also write about public and family health on my blog MedFly, which is part of the BlogHer Publishing Network.
I have worked as a writer or editor for most of my professional career. I have been writing about health and medical topics since 1999, and freelancing since 2003.
As a resident of the San Francisco Bay Area, I also periodically write about local topics, such as K-12 education, the slow food movement, and Bay Area hiking spots.
