Turning Healthcare Expertise
Into Strategies, Stories And
Experiences That Build Trust
Healthcare Strategist & Communication Consultant
Bringing together scientific expertise, strategic thinking and healthcare communication to help organisations build credibility, engage the right audiences and move ideas forward.
Scientific Training & Industry Perspective
My work in healthcare began with pharmacy, where I built a foundation in medicines, formulation, pharmacology, quality and regulation. That foundation took me from pharmaceutical industry experience in India to a Distinction in MSc Medical Affairs at King's College London, and into UK medical writing and scientific communication.
Since then, my experience has expanded across healthcare-product development, international pharmaceutical business development, preventive-health communication and wellness. Working across these different parts of healthcare has taught me to look beyond the science alone: to understand the people, the gaps, the evidence and the context behind every healthcare challenge.
Today, I bring those perspectives together to help healthcare organisations turn complex expertise into strategies, stories and experiences that are scientifically grounded, purposeful and easier for people to trust.
