Messaging That Matters

I am a writer who specializes in translating public health, education, and medical concepts for the "rest of us." Plain language writing that can clearly and accurately convey scientific truths is a skill that is more important now than ever. 

My specific skills include:

• Eliminating opaque language in research summaries
• Editing and rewriting jargon-filled grant applications
• Creating dynamic researcher profiles
• Composing inspiring donor request letters
• Writing success stories to showcase your institution's strengths
• Using primary research to create technical assistance tools (for either layperson or academic audiences)
• Developing white papers that convey your institution's point-of-view on social issues
• Matching voice and tone to existing web and media content
