Hello, I’m Conor Toomey, an experienced project manager passionate about leveraging research and strategic communications to address public health and sustainability issues. With a strong background in managing public service marketing campaigns and sustainability research, I am dedicated to aiding government and non-profit clients in creating lasting, positive public health outcomes.My commitment to positively impacting public health in communities both near and far goes beyond encouraging people to take one single action to improve their health, but rather creating programs that motivate and sustain people’s actions towards positive health outcomes. As I learned in both my experience as a communicator and researcher, collaborating with cross functional teams and external stakeholders is paramount to fully understanding the issue from all sides. Whether it is working with farmers in Africa understand which crops are both nutritionally and economically beneficial to grow for their communities, or helping rural communities in America learn ways they can better manage their mental health day-to-day, my goal is always to work with a diverse team to take a holistic approach when creating sustainable and resilient solutions for clients.When approaching these public health issues, I recognize the significance of utilizing emerging technology to amplify and enhance the sustainable impact I aim to create. Whether it is using patient intake platforms in doctors’ offices to remind people to stay up to date with vaccinations or utilizing trusted messengers on social media platforms to reduce stigma around mental health, I place a great deal of importance on understanding new technical solutions that I can leverage to reach the communities I seek to serve.As I have graduated from the Utrecht University in The Netherlands with a MSc. in International Development Studies, with significant skills in in project delivery, strategic communications, and research analysis, I seek to leverage those experiences and skills to pivot to a career focused on public health program management.Specifically, here are a few skills and competencies I have gained throughout my career and education:Project & Client Management- Agile Methodology- Asana Project Management - Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams)- ZoomDigital Communications- Google Analytics- Google AdWords- Facebook Ad Manager- Craft CMS Platform- WordPress CMS PlatformTechnical Analysis- SPSS Statistical Analysis - ArcGIS Mapping - NVivo Qualitative Analysis
