More About Me
I'm a seasoned, collaborative strategist and planner with a big toolbox and a curious mind.
I bring an uncommon mix of insider and outsider experiences in public policy, health care and research, and social, racial and economic justice with deep roots: gender justice, HIV, harm reduction, LGBT health, and more.
I'm a committed, supportive and engaging facilitator and communicator,
an affable and effective motivator and coach who builds and catalyzes high-performing teams, and a noted organizer of successful campaigns for change.
I'm an agile network-weaver and adept relationship-builder ready to inspire commitment. I help develop, launch and iterate strategic plans to enliven organizations while fostering positive, productive work environments.
I'm a super-fast, clear and effective writer and editor across many styles, ready for customized language, communications practices, and cultural considerations within and across a wide range of professions, generations and communities.
No matter what the topic or challenge, we can work together to develop strategies and achieve goals for maximum impact, ensure inclusion and equity, and attend to a diverse range of internal and external stakeholders, partners and constituencies.
