CONSULTING

I have what I call a ‘dual-track’ career.

I’ve worked hard to build a reputation as a journalist, author and speaker.

I have worked equally hard with government health agencies, news media, non-governmental organizations and non-profits.

I assist clients working to improve public health by showcasing their work and telling the stories of the people they are aiding. I do this by applying the reporting, writing and marketing skills I’ve developed in many projects over many years.

My goal is to help clients show their boards, constituents, customers, donors and elected officials the improvements they are making and why their work matters.

I specialize in assisting government and non-governmental public health organizations to showcase their work in narrative stories, photos and videos.

WHY YOUR WORK MATTERS

My brochure describes how I can be helpful in reporting and documenting your successes.

I developed this report on Family Health International’s USAID-funded youth programs in Haiti during a visit to Port au Prince, to advise in-country staff on their reporting and documentation efforts.

YOUR SUCCESSES TODAY

will ensure they continue tomorrow

WHAT SETS ME APART?

A unique combination of abilities as both a journalist and technical writer.
Well-developed marketing skills and news judgment that enable me to know what will be of interest and how to promote it.
The journalist’s capacity to combine original investigation--interviews, research data--with engaging story-telling and other communication skills to enhance the education and outreach missions of client organizations.
More than 20 years of reporting on both the “domestic” U.S. and “global” HIV pandemic, and a diverse, extensive network of contacts.
Both a highly experienced “professional” point of view and a deeply lived, well-articulated “consumer” perspective.
