I graduated from the Brown University School of Public Health with a Master of Public Health degree and recently completed a Fellowship with the NYS Public Health Corps, based at the Dutchess County Department of Behavioral and Community Health. Throughout my 5 years of professional public health experience, I have designed studies and evaluated programs using survey research, qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods while securing thousands in grant funding for government agencies and nonprofits.
My work includes creating web content and email copy for diverse clients, including an online magazine with 200k+ monthly readers and a hospitality-focused startup. I also have experience copyediting book chapters and journal manuscripts prior to publication. Additionally, I’ve written multiple successful grants, including a $10,000 Community Development Block Grant for an up-and-coming nonprofit and several others.
