Bridging science, storytelling, and strategy.
My Background
I’m a behavioral scientist and writer who helps organizations turn research, data, and lived experience into messages that inspire action. My work blends psychology, public health, and communication to design strategies that improve lives and strengthen community impact.
I earned my Ph.D. in Psychology from Brandeis University, where I studied how sleep and physical activity shape cognitive functioning. At Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, I examined sleep biomarkers and long-term health outcomes, work that deepened my commitment to translating rigorous science into real-world change, especially for underserved communities.
Beyond academia, I’ve collaborated with CMRignite, one of the nation’s leading social-impact marketing agencies, developing and copyediting technical documents and programs for clients such as FEMA, USDA, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This meant coordinating expert reviews of peer-reviewed research, policy briefs, and government reports, then distilling complex findings into clear, accessible guidance for community members, practitioners, and public agencies.
My expertise also includes crafting SEO-optimized content, grant proposals, and public-facing communication campaigns that balance scientific accuracy with human connection. Whether I’m supporting a small nonprofit, a local farm, or a community health initiative, my goal remains the same: to help mission-driven teams turn evidence into programs, stories, and strategies that truly make a difference.
My Approach to Writing
My love for writing began in college, when I realized how powerful clear, thoughtful language can be in making science feel human and accessible. I bring that same passion to the mission-driven teams I support, crafting materials and programs that are engaging, evidence-based, and centered on real people and real communities.
Whether I’m developing grant proposals, evaluation reports, or public-facing educational content, my approach stays the same:
clarity, empathy, and measurable impact. I translate complex ideas into stories and strategies that resonate with funders, partners, and the communities you serve.
When I’m not writing or analyzing data, you can usually find me exploring Cape Cod or playing music with my family. I believe the best work happens at the intersection of research, curiosity, and creativity, and I love collaborating with others who feel the same.
