About My Services

I am a consultant, editor and writer based in the Washington, D.C. area. My consulting practice provides advice to non-profit organizations on strategic planning, marketing and community outreach.  I also provide a broad range of writing and editing services, including research reports, brochures and website text. 

Strategic Planning

Strategic Planning    Meeting Facilitation    Operational Planning

I can guide your organization through the entire strategic planning process, from the development of mission and vision statements to completing an operational plan. I have extensive experience working to build consensus for the planning process at all levels, from board members to management and staff.  My strategic planning assistance has served non-profit associations, arts organizations and health care providers.

Analysis and Advocacy

Market Analysis   Feasibility Analysis   Policy Analysis

My analysis skills include market analysis, feasibility analysis and more. My work goes beyond mere number crunching, since analysis is useless unless it communicates clearly and allows for confident decision making. My analysis has been used in a number of successful public advocacy campaigns and planning efforts.

Writing and Editing Services

Brochures    Annual Reports    Web Content    Social Marketing    Presentations

I have composed annual reports, brochures and website text for my clients. My freelance writing covers a broad range of subjects, and I have published articles on both consumer and professional topics. Published work includes stories on food and culture, real estate and health care administration.  Examples are available on the page titled Clips. I am the author of a book on managed care contracting, Global Capitation, published by McGraw-Hill in 1998. I am also well-versed in the latest techniques and trends in social marketing, using tools such as Facebook, Twitter, e-mail newsletters and blog entries.
