I work with individuals and organizations worldwide to make their valuable documents: (1) memorable, (2) a springboard for action, and (3) a resource for their stakeholders and clients. I'm proud to edit and write documents for students, thought leaders, the United Nations, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Alzheimer Society of Canada, and Dalhousie University. My process involves learning my clients' needs (through empathic listening and document reviews); clarifying their message; researching their audience; and transforming their draft into a narrative that caters to a need, is valuable, and is singular in form and function. I make every word count and inspire action through my writing.

Senior Writer and Knowledge Broker

Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging and Dalhousie University

Jun 2015 - Sep 2019 • 4 yrs 3 mos

I used critical thinking, persuasive writing skills, and "insider knowledge" to introduce stakeholders to research findings, make the theories memorable, and ensure they were used in practice. I did this by... • Selecting relevant and engaging evidence, tailoring it, and building relationships with policy and decision-makers; • Crafting presentations for healthcare leaders that encouraged audiences to pay attention, recall the information, and arm them to act on it; • Presenting findings at conferences, via social media, and blogs; and • Uniting partner organizations, subject-matter experts, practitioners, and community representatives to share evidence, knowledge, and best practices through teleconferences, symposiums, and events. This helped to build the foundation for solutions and innovations related to dementia, including the development of Canada's National Strategy.

I worked with the District Chief of Anesthesia, Pain Management, and Perioperative Medicine on written communication, strategic planning, streamlining the flow of information to his office, and managing the expectations of a broad variety of stakeholders in healthcare administration. Deliverables: • Facilitated stakeholder consultations and authored the clinical and academic funding plan for the department. It was used to negotiate $5M+ in funding with the Department of Health and Wellness and they requested to use it as their template for other departments; • Project managed "Grand Rounds" educational events, the "Journal Club," and supported resident matching for the office of education
