Healthcare content and communications manager building organic growth through SEO, thought leadership, and newsletters.
What I'm looking for
I’m a healthcare content and communications professional currently serving as the sole communications resource across multiple healthcare organizations, where I build and run the full content operation end to end. Since March 2025, I’ve led content strategy, writing, social media, newsletters, SEO, and outreach—simultaneously—across EHI and TSACI.
In under 10 months, I grew both LinkedIn audiences from near-zero to 1,000+ followers each—entirely 100% organically, with zero paid spend. I also built and scaled a newsletter from scratch (The Daily Media Scan) to 623+ subscribers, and established EHI’s organic search presence from zero by identifying and fixing 18 pages blocked from Google indexing.
Before this, I brought a decade of journalism, diplomatic protocol, and cross-cultural communication into my work, which shaped my writing discipline, stakeholder instincts, and professional maturity. I research, write, and publish evidence-based long-form healthcare thought leadership for hospital directors, health investors, and health system leaders—while building reliable content systems that keep messaging aligned across channels.
