Your trusted healthcare copywriting partner

Over 30 years ago, I left advertising to embark on a journey in marketing communications, crafting compelling messages for a diverse range of industries. From the cutting edge of biotech and health IT to telecommunications, home building, and environmental sustainability, I honed my skills in translating complex information into engaging content. However, for the past 15 years, my focus has gravitated towards a single, powerful domain: healthcare.

Why the shift? Because I believe there’s no greater influence on our lives than our health. I’m passionate about empowering individuals to understand the factors that shape their healthspan, the actions they can take to improve it, and the resources available to support their well-being.

This passion has led me to specialize in healthcare marketing, where I collaborate with innovative companies offering health and wellness solutions and provider and patient education resources. My mission is to bridge the knowledge gap between these valuable services and products and the individuals who need them.

Throughout my career, I’ve supported families and friends in navigating complex health challenges. I craft clear, evidence-based content to empower providers with the knowledge they need to inform clinical decision, facilitate patient discussions, and foster patient engagement in a patient-centered care model.

As a marketing director in the wellness industry, you understand the power of information and education in driving positive health outcomes. Let’s work together to engage your audience and achieve your marketing goals.

What I bring to the table:

• 35+ years of experience in healthcare marketing and patient education content creation
• Passion for empowering the healthcare team to improve health outcomes
• A proven track record of crafting clear, engaging content that resonates with target audiences
• In-depth understanding of the healthcare landscape and wellness trends

Education

I earned my BA in English from the University of California, Berkeley. In the years since, I’ve complemented that education with courses in marketing, finance, business administration, writing, social media, aging issues, and language. Like most writers, I’m intellectually curious and truly enjoy the learning opportunities that being a writer provides.

I studied French while living for a year in southern France and studied Spanish when I lived in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico for several years. I’m a traveler by nature and have discovered that by traveling, I learn something new about myself and the world we live in and I come home with a renewed sense of gratitude for the life I’m able to enjoy.

Volunteer experience

My volunteer activities have been primarily in the communications area, although I spent several years volunteering in the Lost & Found department at the San Francisco SPCA, served as the President of my children’s elementary school’s Parents Club, and have volunteered with the Waldorf School in San Miguel de Allende, the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts.

I have three children I’m extremely proud of. One is in the wine business, one is a NICU nurse at UC Davis Medical Center, and one is in a high school education counselor.

Currently, my only dependents are two English Cocker Spaniels and a water-wise garden that needs regular tending.
