About me
Hello! I'm glad you're here. There's a lot of info below about me if you'd like to do a deep dive. In short – I am a clinical scientist who primarily works in content and copywriting with fun brands and startups. Weird mix, right? My scientific background makes me a great numbers gal and my clinical work means I am pretty darn good at taking the perspective of customers! I can handle a diverse range of topics with confidence and I'll get you whatever results you're looking for. Come along, let's journey into my credentials... •First let's look at the boring/makes me credible stuff: I have a master’s in clinical psychology and a PhD in developmental psychology with over a decade of clinical and research experience. I was supervised by world-renowned scientists, am a recipient of several esteemed grants, and a Frederick Banting and Charles Best Doctoral scholar. I have extensive experience in clinical research including neuropsychopharmacological research, depression research, and neuropsychometry. I also served for 8 years as an editorial manager to international journals in neuropsychopharmacology. •Cool therapy skills add-ons: I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. As a bonus, I am also a certified personal trainer and precision nutrition coach. •The copywriting stuff: Ad creative and copy expert who is especially skilled at short-form copy. I also write killer email campaigns, landing pages, and pretty much anything else you want! I especially love joining brands during the discovery period but also tend to have a great time with established brands. I’ve worked with influencers to create campaigns for brands such as Adobe, Starbucks, Old Navy, Google, Apple, and more. I have rated myself as among the top 2% of funny scientists in the world (please don't fact check that). Here's what I can offer you: Scientific content creation •Blogs, articles, and ebooks •Consulting for apps and startups in the health space •Web content- landing pages, copy, blogs •White papers, academic papers, research grants •Scripts (self-help, CBT, meditation) Creative copywriting •Taglines, ads •Emails, drip campaigns •Captions, videos, campaigns •Landing pages, blogs, comedy writing Editing work •Academic papers, dissertations •Grants (have worked extensively with NIMH and CIHR) •Scholarships, applications, personal statements •Scientific posters, abstracts, and presentations •Books, book chapters Expertise •Psychological and psychiatric research •Medicinal mushrooms •Psychedelic medicine, entheogens •Sleep •CBD, THC •Nootropics •Health and wellness •Fasting, bio-hacks •Making long lists Personally, I am a fun easy-going person, a good listener, and a hard worker.
