publishing & other adventures

Helen gained a PhD in zoology from the University of Bristol, UK, then worked as a science journalist. In Canada she founded three healthcare-related companies, including a book publisher, a research company and a medical communications agency on Yonge Street in Toronto that she ran for almost 20 years before selling up in 2017. Her book-publishing list included The Canadian Guide to Prostate Cancer, 2nd Edition. After she turned 40, with the help of a student loan Helen qualified as a private pilot, writing about the experience for The Globe and Mail. She crossed two oceans as the sole passenger on a freighter, a photojournalism project published by Quartz. Following lockdown, she travelled to the most remote islands on Earth, the Marquesas in French Polynesia, resulting in a solo photographic exhibition, Faces of Paradise. She is an adjunct professor at the San Diego Biomedical Institute (San Diego Biomed) and a reviewer for the British Medical Journal.
