Health education is my passion.
I'm a health and wellness nerd—I studied case management and previously worked as a full-spectrum doula and childbirth educator.
As a disabled, neurodivergent writer, I understand the hidden barriers to health literacy. I follow evidence-based practices for promoting health literacy to create healthcare content that empowers patients to participate actively in their care.
I continually pursue continuing education in health literacy through reliable training sources such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Agency for Healthcare and Research Quality (AHRQ).
Accessibility
Over half of American adults have prose literacy below a 6th-grade level, and even highly literate people often struggle with health literacy. I break down complex healthcare information and communicate it in simple, clear language that's easy to understand.
I'm experienced in addressing potential barriers to health literacy, such as:
Health anxiety
Neurodivergence
Learning disabilities
Cultural Differences
Inclusivity
Socially disadvantaged groups have lower health literacy and poorer health outcomes than privileged groups. I aim to reduce this gap by approaching healthcare writing through a social justice lens and creating radically inclusive content that speaks to your target audience.
I am:
LGBTQ+
Neurodivergent (Autistic/PDA and ADHD)
Disabled
Health at Every Size (HAES) informed
Trauma-informed
Culturally competent
I consider your intended readership's cultural, religious, and linguistic norms and write content that speaks to your audience, not at them.
Accuracy
I take the accuracy of my health and wellness content seriously. I research content using reliable sources like the CDC, the World Health Organization (WHO), The Lancet, and The New England Journal of Medicine.
I also go straight to the source—listening to first hand-experiences and interviewing real doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals on the front lines. I understand that medical science advances constantly, and I strive to stay informed on relevant healthcare information and new recommendations.
