Skills Subjects and Other Information

Brief
A self-motivated, inquisitive, and creative professional, I founded the text clinic, a boutique medical writing, communications, and translation consultancy, in 2006 to combine my writing experience across the entire medical doumentation spectrum with my passion for casting complex content into high-impact texts in either of my working languages—English and German.

Today, I look back on close to 30 years of supporting clients from the pharmaceutical and medical devices industries, academia, and the Austrian medicines agency in fulfilling their communication goals—and on countless documents having left my desk.

Working to deliver the highest quality in writing and translation, my aspiration is to produce text that fulfils what I have come to refer to as ‘the seven Cs,’ i.e., text that is:

• Correct and accurate
• Carefully researched
• Consistent
• Clear and concise
• Compellingly structured
• Compliant with relevant guidelines
• Cut and tailored to its target audience

In short—creating documents that work.
