Public health and community organizations operate at the intersection of science, ethics, and human experience—but the best policies, programs, and research outcomes only succeed when equity, cultural competency, and earned community trust are prioritized.
With experience in clinical research, public health education, grassroots organizing, and U.S.-federally compliant inclusion strategy, I help healthcare systems, community-based organizations, and advocacy groups ensure that inclusion isn’t an afterthought—it’s a foundation.
I’ve spent decades working with both large-scale health initiatives and community-driven efforts, from consulting on the first-ever inclusion of transgender men in federally funded HIV clinical trials to leading grassroots outreach campaigns that brought health education to underserved populations.
If your team is struggling to bridge gaps in trust, access, or equity, I can help.
