Overview
I'm a sociologist and working writer with decades of research, editorial, and strategic communications experience. Since 1990, I've focused on health with a focus on patient education and empowerment. Churches and mission-based organizations joined my client list in 2000.
Passion
Deploying digital tools to improve health education and community building. Although I'm a big fan of social media, I'll tell you when it makes no sense to mess around with Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, or blogs.
Skill
Helping clients focus on the big picture to identify target audiences and predict outcomes.
Talent
Translating complex, jargon-heavy information into reader-friendly communications.
