We have a strong track record of success and satisfaction, with clients ranging from health communication and advertising agencies, to consulting firms, medical device companies, government agencies, and public policy, clients My passion for health stems from my background as a registered nurse, where I gained valuable insights into the healthcare system and the needs of patients, hospitals and practitioners. I then transitioned into the pharmaceutical industry, working with leading companies such as Bayer and AbbVie, where I honed my skills in product development, sales, and marketing. I also spent a decade in medical publishing, where I was involved in the relaunch of Medical Observer, a weekly medical newspaper distributed to all healthcare professionals, nationally.
