About

Shannon Casey, PA, MPAS

👋 Hello! I'm Shannon, a freelance medical writer who works with healthcare and life sciences organizations to communicate complex information with clarity and precision. A clinician by training, my work is grounded in a practical understanding of how people absorb and act on medical information.

As a faculty member at the University of Washington, I developed additional expertise in adult learning principles. Today, I draw on my strong background in healthcare and academia to create content for patients, healthcare professionals, and industry audiences alike.

"Shannon's attention to detail, creativity, and ability to deliver high-quality results were evident in every project she undertook." Megan Smith — CEO, Disrupted Performance Lab

Clients who work with me can expect a responsive, flexible partner. I pride myself on delivering work on time and communicating clearly every step of the way.
