Health and mental health nonprofits do life-saving work, but too often, the power of that work gets lost in reports filled with statistics instead of stories. In donor relations, numbers matter. But stories are what move people to act.

I specialize in writing story-driven fundraising content for nonprofits in the health and mental health space.

From annual report features to letters of appeal, I help organizations connect donors to the heart of their mission through the lived experiences of patients, doctors, caregivers, and communities.

With a background in both medical writing and nonprofit development writing, I bring more than a decade of experience telling human-centered stories that are rooted in fact, emotionally resonant, and aligned with your fundraising goals.

✅ Health-focused storytelling: I've contributed more than thirty articles to Health Union’s online health communities and served as both a writer and community moderator for inflammatoryboweldisease.net.

I have written articles for Men’s Health, Next Avenue, and Autism Parenting Magazine, among others.

My nonfiction titles for teens and young adults have tackled complex topics including behavioral health, women’s health, addiction, and recovery.

✅ Fundraising materials that inspire action: I’ve written donor communications, including case statements, appeal letters, and thought leadership for organizations in the health, education, disability, and food insecurity space.

I know how to turn data and personal experiences into compelling narratives that donors remember and respond to. A proponent of trauma-informed storytelling, I write from a place of deep respect for both those sharing their stories and your nonprofit's audience.

✅ A collaborative, deadline-driven partner: Clients describe me as a talented writer who handles sensitive health-related topics with accuracy and care. I’m praised for my research skills, creative storytelling, and editorial professionalism.

I can help you uncover the real stories behind your mission and write content that deepens donor trust, strengthens relationships, and keeps your cause top of mind.
