Fifteen-plus years turning health science into something you can actually use.
I’m a nurse practitioner, health scientist, and coach who has spent a career moving between clinical practice, research, industry, and education. The most interesting problems in health don’t live inside boundaries, and neither do I.
I’ve worked a cardiac ICU and a college health clinic. I’ve run a mobile health program and a gender-affirming care program. I’ve published research, built academic curricula, and helped health-tech companies translate science into products real people actually use.
What ties it together isn’t a job title. It’s a habit of mind: when the evidence is messy, the incentives are misaligned, or the marketing has outrun the science, I go looking for what’s actually true — and then I figure out what to do about it.
That’s the work. Flower Power Health is where I do it with you: as a scientific advisor to organizations building credible health products and content, and as a coach for people who want to apply the same rigor to their own health and performance.
What I bring
deep knowledge of health context
behavior change expertise
skills to develop and translate rigorous, peer-reviewed science
writing and speaking for clinical, business, and general audiences
practical know-how in building and evaluating health products at scale, and bringing the evidence that investors and payers need
willingness to explore uncharted territory and an athlete’s understanding of what real-world performance looks like
Selected work
Designed and implemented a large-scale industry-partnered research collaboration exploring how targeted exercise can ease menopause symptoms, translating over 100 peer-reviewed studies into real-world programming for hundreds of participants.
Launched clinical program design and delivery for transgender patients, grounded in the evidence that access to this care measurably improves mental health outcomes.
Led implementation of a new hybrid distance education program for advanced practice nurses, expanding access to graduate clinical training.
Talking the talk
I write and speak about complex health science for general audiences — because expertise that stays locked in journals leaves impact on the table.
From blog posts to press interviews to keynotes and workshops, I bring clarity (and sometimes humor) to science, self-care, strategy, and the overlap among them.

Beyond the work
I’m a trail runner with several ultramarathon finishes to my name. I’ll say yes to almost any physical challenge that sounds slightly unreasonable. I volunteer with organizations including Girls on the Run and my county’s Medical Reserve Corps. And when I’m not doing either of those, I’m probably planning the next adventure.
