Seasoned healthcare professional seeking expansion of medical background to include freelance technical, medical, or promotional healthcare writing. WRITING FOR FREE to build resume.

Pressured by the reality deadline of graduating in four years in 2000 and the fear that journalists are often jobless, I pulled the trigger on a graduate program and subsequent healthcare field that seemed to best combine my passions for science and language, medicine and interpersonal relationships, research and anecdote. 18 years have passed, and I'm eagerly aiming to trade in my proven persuasive written communication geared at insurance companies and physicians for the career I would have chosen if I could do it all over again in 2000.
