Addressing Invisible Harms Through Public Health Policies
I'm a health policy and research consultant specializing in sexual health, coercive control, economic abuse, and age-related autonomy. I focus on forms of harm that evade detection in health, legal, and public health systems - despite their profound impact on wellbeing across the lifespan.
I help organizations identify systemic blind spots and translate complex realities into actionable policy and programs. My work includes policy analysis, research synthesis, systems assessments, and strategic advisory support for foundations, NGOs, and health institutions.The through-line: Power dynamics and institutional structures shape health outcomes in ways existing frameworks often miss. My approach is evidence-based, ethically grounded, and centered on how systems misunderstand risk - not individual incapacity.
