Working in URC's Business Development Department, I edited and/or wrote a range of publications, including proposals, corporate brochures, presentations, web and photo stories, and more. I ensured that Business Development documents and publications maintain consistent clarity, quality, and style. I also assisted division staff with editing of non-BD documents as needed.

Chevy Chase, Maryland

I consulted with division staff to select and write web stories that highlighted key company successes; also ensured that critical web content remained up to date. I launched an internal, quarterly photo contest for all URC staff to solicit new, high-quality images for URC’s social media channels and web site, including a re-booted URC Exposure channel. I also helped plan and supported URC conference participation, including booth setup, staffing, and social media content creation for HSR2018 in Liverpool, England. (My employment ended in late October - along with many others - due to staff reductions.)

Bethesda Md

I worked with colleagues to write, edit, and manage content creation for AbtAssociates.com, including web stories, videos, infographics, and other material. I ensured that Abt's public web site had the right content in the right place at the right time.

Bethesda, Md.

I worked with Abt staff to develop web stories, videos, data visualizations, and other web content for AbtAssociates.com based on the company's strategic priorities. I also ensured that existing web content remained up to date. I was essentially Abt's resident photographer and trainer for anyone who was looking to improve their visual storytelling skills.

Washington D.C. Metro Area

I covered Medicaid, state and federal health reform, and the uninsured for this national publication for physicians read by more than 225,000 people every week. My feature story, “Health care’s 1%: Who are the chronically costly?”, won both a Lisagor award and an award from the American Society of Healthcare Publication Editors. It was the most ready story on the American Medical News web site in 2012.

I taught approximately 240 middle school and high school students in public schools in the village of Soanierana Ivongo. I also integrated into the local culture and learned to speak Malagasy, the native language of Madagascar, and helped train the 2004-06 group of Peace Corps education volunteers.

Cincinnati, Ohio

I regularly covered Cincinnati City Council and the Hamilton County Commission for this 50,000-circulation weekly paper. I tackled local racial profiling with a computer-assisted analysis of traffic tickets (a story that won second place for investigative reporting in the 2002 Association of Alternative Newsweeklies awards). And I wrote about health care, education, race relations, urban planning, the environment, music, and the arts.
