    What I've Written

  • Communications

    I am known for my ability to clearly convey complex ideas aloud and in writing. I received the 2008 Shoemaker Award for Communications Excellence from the U.S. Geological Survey, and I am often called upon to write quickly for various audiences and purposes. Samples:

    Violence Prevention

    in Practice

    a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website

    Protecting Your Family from Earthquakes

    a disaster preparedness manual for immigrants

  • Research, Interviews & Synthesis

    My journalism and public health training means I'm a skilled interviewer and can distill all sorts of data into policy recommendations. My favorite publications incorporate the experiences of people who know their communities best, as well as the latest academic research. Samples:

     

    Community Safety

    by Design

    preventing violence through

    land use

     

    Connecting the Dots

    research on the links among

    multiple forms of violence

  • Resources for Colleagues

    My training presentations ensure that colleagues can make informed decisions about their benefits and feel supported to succeed at work. It's important that all people have help understanding how financial concepts so don't have to navigate terrible systems on their own, and understand how their performance will be evaluated. Samples:

    How Can Pre-Tax Benefits Help Me?

    slides on Flexible Spending Accounts and commuter benefits

    Pregnancy and

    Parental Leave

    slides on job protection and wage replacement in California

    Bonus! How to Play Majiang

    Wish you understood that scene in the Crazy Rich Asians movie? I created this presentation to teach colleagues to play using Hong Kong rules, as part of celebrating Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
