I have always known that I wanted to be a writer and work with language and texts.
Although I planned to study English after school, life took me on an unexpected journey into the sciences. While running experiments for my Ph.D. in molecular biology, I began dabbling in academic writing, editing fellow scientists’ writing to pass the time. It was during that period that I also started working as a writing consultant at the University of Cape Town’s Writing Centre.
After I graduated in 2017, I worked in academic research support at Stellenbosch University, mostly teaching proposal and publication writing and assisting Master of Medicine candidates with their research.
To enable this work, I completed a Master of Philosophy in Health Professions Education in 2021. I really enjoy facilitating writing and research workshops and developing online course material for topics in medicine and science.
I recently transitioned out of academia and now work as a medical writer for an international company. I started this business as an outlet for my love of teaching and academic research. It brings me much joy to help academics flourish!

Feeling overwhelmed by your research? I can help. I offer individualised consultations for all stages of the research process and any type of academic text. I can help you plan your research, set goals, overcome writer’s block, and navigate the research approval and publication processes.
I provide developmental writing support, which means I will review your current draft and provide feedback and guidance for developing your authorial voice. I also offer customised research and writing lectures and workshops.
Drawing on constructive alignment and cognitive load theory, I can help you plan and deliver powerful learning experiences.
With your vision and my insight, we can work together to develop teaching material, create video content, and populate Moodle based learning management systems.
We can discuss any other writing needs you may have – if you can dream it, I can write it!
Sometimes we need a fresh pair of eyes on our work. I can help you with editing and for obvious
grammatical errors, punctuation, and formatting of your final document.
