About Me I grew up in Scotland with a Scottish father and a French mother. I trained as a Physiotherapist in Aberdeen where I then worked for several years. I moved to France in 2002. Being curious, I decided to further my education and undertook a Masters degree followed by a PhD. Having gained experience in publishing scientific articles, several colleagues then decided to take advantage of my native English and scientific background to improve their articles for international publications, and my career as a translator and scientific writer began. My particular areas of expertise are rehabilitation, movement science, neuroscience and neurology, however I am at ease with all aspects of medicine. During my PhD I published my own research work, then as a research therapist, I continued to publish with my colleagues. Since becoming microentrepreneur in 2010, I have helped to publish over 150 articles for doctors, as well participating in the writing of several successful grant applications.
