I have years of experience working with various science and health topics for scientists, the general public, healthcare professionals, patients, and journalists. The Portfolio highlights my most relevant work as a science communicator. For Ivory Embassy blog posts, please visit the Ivory Embassy Blog. Feel free to contact me to discuss projects.

European Medicines Agency (EMA)
Press releases by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) inform the general public, healthcare professionals, and journalists about the agency’s decisions regarding medicines. The press releases I created included announcements of medicine review starts reviews and final recommendations from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) and Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC). These were written in close collaboration with team members, product managers
