About
As a scientific writer and editor, I
have had 12+ years experience in
scientific writing and editing as the
in-house editor, translator, and
molecular biology consultant for
BioRealm and Bina Nusantara
University. I have applied the writing
and editing skills during my graduate
study years to co-author and edit
numerous grants to funding and
manuscripts for publications. I have
leveraged my training in linguistics
to convey information in writing more
efficiently and precisely. As a bench
scientist, my most recent experiences
(6 years) are on RNA biology and
virology. I have an overall 10 years
experience in molecular and cellular
biology techniques. As a linguist, I
currently am a lexical linguist,
curating the Indonesian language
database for Apple. SUMMARY/HIGHLIGHTS
