Building a Path to Publication
Providence Neuroscience Institute | Technical Writer
When I joined Providence Neuroscience Institute, I saw an opportunity to improve our manuscript development process. By mapping our workflows and creating practical tools, I strengthened collaboration, improved quality, and ultimately doubled our annual acceptances in peer-reviewed journals. This work gave the team a shared language for talking about writing and increased confidence that our research could compete on an international stage.

Crafting a Patient-Centered Newsletter
National African Americans with Multiple Sclerosis Registry | Content Creator
I partnered with the National African Americans with Multiple Sclerosis Registry (NAAMSR) to create a newsletter that translated complex medical information for patients. I used the CDC Clear Communication Index to craft content tailored for a patient audience and built accessible layouts and visuals in InDesign and Illustrator. I worked closely with MS experts to design graphics, manage a tight production schedule, and build simple systems that kept our workflow organized and reliable.
