RESULTS
"In a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment such as medical devices, we need to work fast, but also flawlessly. Moira sets the standard by quickly grasping the assignment, asking the right questions and taking our often fragmented direction and turning it into written work of outstanding quality, with the right voice and tone. She plays a vital role in our content creation engine. I've worked with many writers, and Moira stands out for her expertise in medical writing and the ability to work easily with her."

"What sets Moira apart is her consistent ability to meet or exceed expectations. She is a skilled medical education writer who delivers carefully crafted pieces that benefit from her careful eye regarding grammar and usage. I hire Moira whenever possible on projects because she is accountable, is cooperative, and delivers projects on time."

"At CDC I initially needed Moira to copyedit NCCDPHP-coauthored articles for peer-reviewed medical journals. Then we needed to edit web content for all of NCCDPHP’s public-facing web pages, aimed at a general audience. Moira excelled in this role as well. Subsequently the Division of Adolescent and School Health relayed an urgent need for help creating new content. When my boss asked whom I’d recommend for this writer position—who could also copyedit their own work—I didn't hesitate to name Moira. She was our best chance of having those pages ready in a tight time frame, and by golly she pulled it off. This hints at another of Moira’s skills: her blazing speed, whether in writing or editing. We released her only because of CDC’s significant RIFs in 2025."

"Moira is a tremendous partner in content development, structuring content for the delivery channel, writing for clinicians and patients—and her efficiency in copy editing and proofing is the icing on the cake. In addition, she has an unprecedented ability to research, to get up to speed extremely quickly. Moira has been my go-to writer/partner since the early 2000's, and I have recommended her to many others. I cannot recommend Moira highly enough. Her high expectations and work ethic are the best I've ever experienced in working with vendors."

"Moira is a first-rate researcher, as well as a sensitive and skilled interviewer. Because of the depth of her writing experience, Moira is able to ramp up quickly on complex medical/technical topics and apply critical analysis to the results of her research. She is always extremely resourceful, organized, and gracious in managing the endless details of a writing project. Her highly efficient, adaptable, and professional work style allows her to routinely meet tight copy development deadlines—despite working from a remote location—while also providing thorough, careful attention to the requirements of any writing assignment."
