Blending evidence and creativity.

A recognized leader in public health communications and advocacy, I transform complex scientific concepts into compelling narratives that support access to life-changing health services. Working with and for communities, I value collaboration and innovation. My two-decade career reflects my track record of managing community-driven public health initiatives that support stronger programs, policies, and services across diverse health and geographical areas.

My approach transcends mere application of the evidence—I amplify authentic voices and weave together powerful human stories that provide context to data and compel people to act.
