About

A detail-oriented Scientific Editor and Medical Writer (PharmD) with ~4+ years of combined experience in scientific editing, clinical content review, and academic publishing. I specialize in refining complex medical and research content into clear, accurate, and publication-ready outputs while ensuring adherence to editorial standards, SOPs, and publication guidelines (COPE, ICMJE). My experience spans manuscript editing, copyediting (L-MACH), proofreading, and peer review workflows, with contributions as an Academic Editor and reviewer of 200+ manuscripts. I have worked extensively on clinical and scientific documents, ensuring data integrity, accurate interpretation of clinical and statistical information, and consistency across tables, figures, and narratives. Currently at Apollo Hospitals, I contribute to clinical documentation review, data accuracy, pharmacovigilance, and antimicrobial stewardship, strengthening my ability to critically evaluate medical content and ensure scientific rigor. I am passionate about bridging clinical expertise with scientific communication, collaborating with global researchers and stakeholders to deliver high-quality, evidence-based content that meets publication and regulatory standards.
