Preferred

• Experience writing case studies, clinical stories, editorial features, or similar narrative content is strongly preferred.

• Relevant veterinary or pet-health bylines and portfolio samples are highly desirable.
• A human-first approach to writing is strongly preferred. The client values the human expertise behind its content and does not want AI-generated writing to replace the writer's original reporting, judgment, or storytelling.
