Wicked Smart Creative | Maya Chendke Freelance Health Writer

about Maya Chendke

Maya (“Mags” for short) is a creative-analytical writer and strategist who turns complicated, data-driven information into human-friendly content. A science geek to her core, Maya has +20 years of experience in highly regulated industries, including health, pharma, veterinary, and financial services.

She has written about a wide range of conditions and therapeutic areas for:

  • HCPs, hospitals, payers

  • Patients

  • Caregivers

  • Global brand and regional reps

  • Mass market and public health

Balancing creativity and pragmatism, she excels at bridging gaps across diverse teams—including engineers, clinicians, scientists, and designers—and is a "universal translator" who streamlines collaboration.

Maya has an MBA from the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, a pre-MBA certificate from Stanford’s Graduate School of Business, and a bachelor’s degree from the TMU School of Journalism.

As a passionate healthcare and patient advocate, she enjoys teaching mindfulness and meditation and volunteers extensively in pet therapy with dogs, cats, and horses.

Catch her in the forests of BC, on the docks of Ontario, and on the waves of Hawai’i.
