Vicky Smith

After enjoying writing my thesis for my PhD in Molecular Microbiology at the University of Nottingham more than I had initially expected, I began my career in medical communications in the UK 5 years ago, where I have worked on a wide range of commercial and medical affairs projects. I am passionate about ensuring every patient has the opportunity of understanding how their treatment works. I apply this belief to all work I do by ensuring complex scientific information is considered and translated in a way that feels straightforward and understandable for the audience, whilst still aligning with underlying strategic goals and messaging.

After moving solo to New Zealand in October 2025, I am now seeking a change in pace of life and now enjoy spending free time exploring new places, jogging along the beach, reading books or working on my knitting and crochet projects.
