Hi, I’m Kimberly Wong.
I’ve been working as a professional writer since 2020, although my journey started earlier while I was still an undergraduate. Back then, I wrote about a wide range of topics, including real estate, B2B, finance, travel, and other industries. As my career in pharmacy progressed, I found myself wanting to focus on something closer to home – healthcare.
The Counter Check brings together two things I’ve always enjoyed: pharmacy and writing. It’s where I can share what I’ve learned, continue learning alongside medicine, and hopefully help other people better understand their health.
Why work with Kimberly? Because great content needs more than good writing. Kimberly combines healthcare expertise, research-driven thinking, SEO knowledge, and a strong understanding of audience intent to create content that is credible, engaging, and purposeful.
After years of writing professionally across different industries, I wanted to build something that reflected both my experience in content marketing and my background in pharmacy.
The platform focuses on creating trustworthy, evidence-based health content that helps readers better understand medications, diseases, nutrition, supplements, and laboratory tests. From content strategy and editorial planning to research, writing, SEO, and publishing, I manage every stage of the editorial process to ensure each article is accurate, accessible, and genuinely useful.
As Content Manager at Zander Media, I help oversee the company's social media management and content creation services from planning to publication, ensuring everything aligns with our brand, messaging, and business goals.
As a content marketing manager, I work closely with the founder and creative team to develop digital content for LinkedIn, websites, newsletters, conference marketing, and other digital platforms, creating content that informs, engages, and supports our growing community.
As a freelance content writer, working with UP Venture Media gave me the opportunity to create long-form, SEO-driven content for B2B clients across a variety of industries.
I wrote optimized articles designed to educate readers while supporting each client's content marketing goals, adapting my content writing style to different brands, audiences, and industries with this marketing agency.
I was part of the editorial process that helped prepare content for publication across websites and social media.
I reviewed content created by designers, video editors, and the social media team, ensuring it was accurate, consistent, and aligned with both client expectations and brand guidelines.
During my community pharmacy internship, I gained practical experience of real world medical issues with cross checking my theoretical knowledge and practical world problems by providing patient-centered pharmaceutical care while working under the supervision of licensed pharmacists
I assisted with dispensing both prescription and over-the-counter medications, processed prescriptions accurately, and counseled patients on proper medication use, adherence, storage, and safety.
During my manufacturing pharmacy internship, I worked with the Quality Control and Technology Departments, gaining firsthand experience in pharmaceutical manufacturing and quality assurance.
I participated in laboratory testing of raw materials, in-process samples, and finished products while learning how quality standards are maintained throughout the manufacturing process.
During my hospital internship, I gained hands-on experience in both inpatient and outpatient pharmacy settings while working under the supervision of licensed pharmacists.
I assisted with medication dispensing, prescription verification, medication reconciliation, and patient counseling, helping ensure the safe and effective use of medications.
Mikain Writes is my freelance writing business, where I've partnered with agencies, businesses, and independent clients across a wide range of industries, primarily under non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).
My work has covered healthcare, real estate, travel, business, technology, marketing, lifestyle, and more, allowing me to adapt my freelance content writing to different audiences, brand voices, and business goals.
Every article begins with a question that people are asking.
From there, I review medical literature, clinical guidelines, prescribing information, and other reputable sources to understand what the current evidence says. I compare recommendations, look for areas where evidence is strong or still evolving, and try to present that information in a way that’s easy to follow without leaving out the details that matter.
My goal isn’t simply to summarize information. I want readers to understand what the evidence says, where there are uncertainties, and how that information fits into the bigger picture of their health.
I trained in pharmaceutical manufacturing, where I learned how medications are developed and produced. I also completed internships in both a hospital and a community pharmacy, experiences that allowed me to work with different healthcare professionals and meet people from all walks of life.
Each setting offered a different perspective on patient care, and together they’ve shaped how I approach health education today. They reminded me that every patient has different questions, different concerns, and different experiences, which is something I keep in mind every time I write.
The Counter Check is an independent medical content publication covering evidence-based health education, research explainers, comparisons, fact checks, and consumer healthcare topics.
Every article is created with a commitment to ease, accuracy, transparency, and scientific evidence.
