I am a healthcare business consultant and author of the book-Medicated malnourishment. A pharmacist, with master’s degrees in pharmaceutical analysis, nutritional medicine, clinical oncology and currently completing a Professional Doctorate examining the effects of medications on micronutrient status.

My career began in sales and marketing with GSK and then in natural products with Professor Horrobin’s team-alongside Nobel laureate, Sir James Black-responsible at Scotia Pharmaceuticals-for developing medicines licensed for clinical use based on essential fatty acids.

Current consultancy portfolio includes companies in UK, Ireland, Canada, Japan, Korea, Germany, Norway and Australia.
