Sylvia Denlinger
Pharmaceutical and Biotech Writer
Like any child who has a nurse or a doctor for a parent, I grew up listening to stories of illnesses and cures. I worked for years in public health and emergency medicine, and am still involved in catastrophic emergency medicine (I am ready for earthquakes, fire and the zombie invasion).
Learning to present these complex ideas to a general population led me to UX design and an MFA in Film/Video at the finest school of art in the world: CalArts.
I went on to work for twelve years in an investment bank. I became a quick, go-to writer for my managers and their managers, when a multimedia presentation was needed, or a video script, or simply a page or two of copy.
In my spare time, I study taiko drumming and Alexander the Great (though, unfortunately, not together). I also hike in the Angeles National Forest and am seeking to improve my skills at rose gardening, native plant landscaping, and growing the perfect eggplant.
