What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my communication skills in public health, with opportunities for growth and collaboration in a dynamic environment.

I am a dedicated communications professional with extensive experience in public health messaging and media relations. Currently, I serve as a Senior Communications Associate at The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, where I oversee the production and promotion of various public-facing communications materials. My role involves collaborating with healthcare experts to craft urgent stories that resonate with diverse audiences, ensuring that our communications are both impactful and informative.

Previously, I worked as a Communications Manager at the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, where I managed an award-winning public health communications portfolio. I developed crisis communications resources during the COVID-19 pandemic and partnered with subject matter experts to create over 500 digital products. My experience also includes writing for Complexly's Crash Course Public Health series, which has educated over 100,000 learners on essential public health topics.
