At GMMB, I manage large-scale initiatives to increase access to health coverage and health care and improve the physical, social and emotional health of kids. I design national message research studies that examine motivations and barriers and craft messaging and strategies that motivate audiences to act. I build integrated communications campaigns, manage coalitions and write communications plans, op-eds, speeches and blogs that distill complex policies and problems into concepts and stories that connect with people. I advise clients on communications strategy, partner outreach, stakeholder engagement, digital advertising, and more. For more than 15 years, I've had the honor of working for some of the nation's leading foundations, nonprofits, advocates and associations, including the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the Missouri Foundation for Health, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, American Hospital Association, the Catholic Health Association for the U.S. and more.
