Let's close the gap between
good ideas and effective action.
As a cross-disciplinary strategist, communicator, and systems thinker, I thrive in complex, dynamic situations — working with people to find solutions that work for people.
I listen deeply, anticipate needs, and lead collaboration — facilitating both big picture thinking and analysis of the details. This allows me to find the root cause of a problem and develop effective ways to move forward. I believe that we create sustainable solutions when everyone contributes their expertise.
My work is informed by my experience:
-
Covering national and international stories as a journalist at NPR
-
Partnering as a communication and policy consultant with government agencies, nonprofit foundations, and health care providers
-
Directing strategic communications for a multidisciplinary health research group.
Strategy. Story. Systems.

Let's work together.
I work with individuals and teams who...

Have expertise to improve health and well-being — for example, work in medicine, research, or public health.
-
Work within complex systems, and want to leverage the power of those systems to help people.
-
Want to help steer the course as we navigate this time of rapid change — not just hunker down and hope for the best.

insight to Action: advancing Solutions
We're living through rapid change. Sharing your expertise has never been more important — but it can feel overwhelming. Most people were never taught how to share their expertise outside of their professional communities. It's time to change that.
In this 12 week session you will gain:
Practical framework to advance your work
Foundational tools to share your vision
Confidence in navigating rapid change
We will meet for 1 hour per week for 12 week, with email communication between meetings as needed.

Ongoing support
Advancing systems-level solutions that improve the health and well-being is complex, long-term work. It requires creativity, flexibility, and collaboration.
If we have worked together already — through a Strategy Session, or the Insight to Action — we can create a plan for ongoing support to meet your specific needs. This usually includes meeting weekly, as well as text/email or calls as needed to respond to evolving needs.
You are doing important work. You don't need to do it alone.
