Message

At AK Trainer consulting LLC, I coordinate client engagements and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to design, implement, and evaluate public health programs. I also develop and enhance performance management systems by establishing and refining standard operating procedures.

Previously, at Simply Strategy LLC, I directed public health programs and evaluation work for state agencies, healthcare organizations, nonprofits, foundations, and educational institutions. I led monitoring, evaluation, and learning activities, and contributed to more than $80 million in awarded funding through grant proposals.

At Saint Louis University, I evaluated prostate cancer screening and education initiatives and shared findings through scholarly manuscripts and research symposium presentations. My research and consulting work spans maternal and child health, education, chronic disease prevention, and community health.
