I'm a multi-bylined writer and storyteller who helps healthcare and other organizations to tell their best stories via clear, correct and engaging content.
Working independently or collaborating with other subject matter experts or creatives (video, audio, design), I make content easy:
Most important, I keep it about you and what you need to say about your non-profit impact, translational research, funding needs--or your patient and family care.
As well as writing and editing, I'm known for building long-term, gracious relationships across different levels of the organization.
I'm proud to have interviewed many healthcare patients and their caregivers--many of whom were under-resourced or dually diagnosed.
My own published bylines include "The Boston Globe Magazine," "The New York Times," "The Irish Times," "KevinMD," "Best American Essays," "World of Psychology," "The Wisdom Daily," "Salon," "The Huffington Post," "Pulse: Voices from the Heart of Medicine," and "Johns Hopkins Center for Medical Humanities and Social Medicine."
Oh! And did I mention that I love what I do--even when I wake up at 3 am with that next editorial idea or fix jib-jabbing through my brain?
Now, scroll down for a few other reasons for us to work together:

- Gracious relationship builder with ability to work with diverse stakeholders at all levels within and beyond your organization
- Award-winning writer with multiple bylines (see above)
- High creative standards, ethics and editing (AP and AMA style guides); experience using U.S. and British style guides
- Quick-study researcher with a curated library of evidence-based, consumer and peer-reviewed sources
- Education and training (U.S. and Ireland): See the list below. Yep, I love to upskill and learn!
- Training facilitation: Designed and delivered many public-access workshops - in person and across digital platforms, including Canvas and Zoom. My workshops get great reviews.
