My Background

I’m a full-time freelance writer with 10 years combined experience in health writing and health care advocacy. Before freelancing, I worked as a community organizer for a reproductive rights organization and then as a health insurance navigator for a community health center.

As a writer, I strive to empower readers with clear, concise and accessible information so they can make the best choices for themselves and their families.
