Although I went to an excellent graduate school, it was a pretty miserable experience for me. One day in lab, I was about to quit because I just couldn’t see how I could keep going. But I also didn’t want to waste all the years I had spent slogging away at it either. It struck me that I had always loved writing, and I wondered if I could somehow combine writing with science. It turned out that science writing (which for me, later became medical writing) was a “thing,” and the rest, well… here we are. 

With renewed purpose, I made myself finish my PhD, and I vowed at that time that if I could make something of this medical writing career, that I would always try to give back to those who were also struggling on their path and for whom this work might be a good fit. It turns out there are so many doctors, grad students, post docs, and academics who do not love what they do. Medicine, in particular, seems to have become increasingly burdensome to those who practice it.  

I spent the first few years as a full-time freelance medical writer, and in recent years have been running my company, Nascent Medical, LLC, which continues to grow beyond any expectation that I ever had. Most people who complete my course end up having Nascent as one of their first clients.

I am so fortunate because of my career choice to spend all kinds of time with my dear husband, Nick, and my daughter, whose school bus I met daily since kindergarten.
 

With this course and your effort, I hope I can help you achieve the same kind of remote work-life balance using your science background and writing ability to make an excellent income.  Check out the free content here.
