About Me

I’ve always had a passion for healthcare but more importantly making healthcare obtainable for all people. I’ve held several different roles over the years in health communications, population health consulting, data analytics and market research. After nine years in the healthcare industry in Philadelphia, Camden Nj, and New Orleans, I can say that I’ve both learned and seen a lot, but even more importantly, I’ve utilized my skill set in many ways.

With an undergrad degree in Public Relations and a graduate degree in Public Health, specializing in Health Policy and Management, both from Temple University, I have a great deal of experience in writing with topics including healthcare, research, advocacy, and policy.
