I am a Freelance Life Science and Medical Writer. I am based in Munich and am willing to travel.

Before starting my freelance business I was employed as a medical Writer at INC Munich (called “Kendle” first, now «Syneos Health»).
As a Medical Writer I have gained experience with all phases of clinical (and some preclinical) development and with many different indications. As a scientist I worked in all phases of preclinical development and wrote many different kinds of documents and presentations.
I am a native German speaker, but spent more than 10 years of my research career in the USA, so am “business fluent” in the English language.

I have learned to familiarize myself quickly with new topics.
