Writer, Editor, Strategist

United States

Give me an overload of information and I will turn it into understandable content targeting different audiences in multiple formats. I focus on health because I enjoy the inspirational stories of care, research and advocacy that all aim to improve patient outcomes. I have tackled an array of topics and present them here as a collection of Web copy, print and video from institutions I have served on a staff and contract bases. Additional grant writing samples provided on request due to privacy concerns.
