● Other education – don’t have much of non-medical-related fancy papers. I’ve watched
pirated versions of learning materials on many topics for quite a while. So, no
certifications. Still, here is my Google Digital Workshop certification on Digital
Marketing’s Fundamentals, just to flex a little.
Working history:

● 2016 – 2021 – full-time job as doctor-radiologists and radiation therapist in Mykolaiv
Regional Tuberculosis Dispensary, Mykolaiv Regional Cancer Dispensary, and a few
Mykolaiv Local City Hospitals.
● Since 2012 – part-time SEO Writer, Copywriter, Content Writer, Medical Writer, and
Translator for numerous clients, mainly Ukrainians and Russians. Currently doing my
best in a Senior Medical Writer’s position to improve AiroMedical’s content. Check the
profile link on the “Our Team” webpage to read my well-researched, accurate, and
fact-rich disease guides.
● Since 2018 – selling my services on Upwork. Profile. Check the link for clients’ feedback.
● Since 2019 – selling my services on Fiverr. Profile. Check the link for clients’ feedback.

Volunteering:

● Since 2018 – helping students (ranging from middle school to university pre-grads) with
biology, chemistry, ecology, and other tasks via the znanija.com platform. Check my
profile with nearly 2,400 verified by experts answers and 151 700+ thanks from students.
Currently, I’m pausing this project.
● Since 2022 – joining zvedeno.info, aiming to decrease the negative impact of mass
media (mainly regarding current war actions) by publishing alternatives to traditional
long-form content via social media, I joined as a Volunteer News Writer and soon started
doing translations, simple design tasks, fundraising, Meta add campaigns, SMM, project
development strategies, technical documentation, and more. We even decided to call me
the CTO of the project, which technically wasn’t true. I keep working on this project but
put in less effort.

About my expectations and workflow briefly:

I prefer to write content related to the medical industry for regular users or HCPs. Or just to
attract search engines’ attention (tried to hint at SEO-optimization experience xD). During my
writer’s career, I’ve written myriads content pieces of diverse format types on dozens of topics.

Yeah, often, clients weren’t interested in my fancy education. They needed someone competent
enough to maintain their everyday writing tasks. Sometimes, I become the one. Yet, I’m
searching for stable opportunities and teams for consistent collaboration where my medical
knowledge and experience can be handy.

Also, I’ll be glad to discuss other options for writers, regardless of the industry, technical
specifications (e.g., I also do creative and academic writing), and project complexity.

So, I often wonder if there was any sense in my path to an M.D. For now, I’m not sure. As well
as, I’m not sure that I really should write a bunch of nonsense about my reliability, stress
resistance, and high emotional intelligence. It would be more helpful if you would look at the set
of tools for the everyday working process, which I’ll be glad to get from an employer in case of
sustainable and long-lasting working relationships:
 ● Grammarly Premium
● Surfer SEO (as needed, upon request by the client)
● Heminque App
● Chat GPT 4 (as needed: use, don’t use, avoid)

I prefer to focus on scientific articles, official guidelines, and government websites as the
primary sources in my writing. Also, it’s not an issue for me to reach out to niche experts via
social media, Reddit, or Quora to ask for guidance, clarification, or explanation. As a Senior
Medical Writer, I regularly monitor and use citations and references from the following sources:

● NCBI
● PubMed
● Scopus
● Solutions and tools by Elsevier (mainly ScienceDirect)
● Google Scholar

Please, contact me with your job description, and we’ll discuss possible collaboration ASAP through
the most convenient communication channel.
