About Michelle
Featured
Having worked in medical communications, both in-house and freelance, for more than 30 years I have a keen eye for detail and work to an exceptionally high standard. I have extensive experience in editing, proofreading, copyright permissions and tracking of materials throughout the publication process including abstracts, manuscripts, core value dossiers, posters, slide decks, infographics and various print items for congresses/symposia. In addition to Microsoft Office products, I am skilled in Endnote, PerfectIt, Adobe Acrobat, GraphPad Prism and in database systems such as Veeva, Datavision and Zinc. I also have experience with Adobe Illustrator and InDesign.
