Your Questions, Answered

  • I see us as strategic partners working together to meet the requirements that are unique to your policy project, research, or career lifecycle. My goal is to integrate with you or your team to solve complex challenges in global health, research, and professional development.

    While every collaboration is unique, our work together typically focuses on four key pillars:

    • Global Health Policy & Strategy: We collaborate to translate rigorous evidence into actionable frameworks. This includes co-authoring technical reports for international bodies (such as the WHO and Africa CDC) and designing robust monitoring, evaluation, and learning systems.

    • Scientific Research & Grant Leadership: I work alongside your research team to navigate the path from data to publication. This includes technical drafting for high-impact journals and the strategic preparation of complex funding applications (e.g., R01, U01, P01).

    • Executive & Academic Mentorship: I partner with aspiring professionals and students to leverage their social capital. We work 1-on-1 to map out elite academic placements, USMLE strategy, and executive branding.

    • Thought Leadership & Media: Drawing on my experience in high-level diplomacy and media, I help organizations communicate their mission with authority through plenary moderation, keynote speaking, and media coaching.

    Everything I do is rooted in a "work-with" rather than "work-for" philosophy. We will start by defining your specific impact goals and then build the technical roadmap to reach them together.

  • You can reach me via the contact page.

  • My pricing is structured to reflect the value of the outcomes we achieve together.

    Depending on the scope of our partnership, we typically work within one of three models:

    • Project-Based: Best for well-defined objectives with clear deliverables, such as drafting a specific technical report, developing a 16-country regional policy framework, or preparing a complex R01 grant application. We agree on a flat fee for the entire lifecycle of the project.

    • Strategic Retainers: Ideal for ongoing institutional advisory or long-term research support. This model allows me to be "on-call" as a technical lead or advisor, providing your team with continuous access to strategic oversight and high-level moderation.

    • Value-Driven Mentorship Packages: For individual academic and career coaching, I offer tiered packages designed to guide you through specific milestones such as medical school admissions strategy and the full NRMP Match cycle.

    Our first step is always a complimentary alignment call. During this conversation, we will define your mission, determine the technical "heavy lifting" required, and I will provide a transparent proposal that reflects the scale of the impact we intend to create.
