Work With Me

  

Behavioral Science Translation for Healthcare & Industry

I specialize in translating peer-reviewed behavioral science and clinical research into clear, decision-ready insights for healthcare and industry leaders.

Organizations often possess high-quality evidence that is difficult to apply in real-world settings. My work bridges the academic-practice gap, transforming complex research into practical frameworks, executive briefs, and materials that inform decisions, communication, and policy.


This work is designed for leaders who value rigor but need clarity, relevance, and actionability.


Areas of Expertise

  • Behavioral economics and decision-making
  • Healthcare communication and patient behavior
  • Physician decision processes and bias
  • Medical education and training


Who This Is For

  • Healthcare organizations and academic medical centers
  • Pharmaceutical and life sciences teams
  • Healthcare consulting firms
  • Health technology companies
  • Medical education and training organizations


Core Services 

Each service centers on translating, synthesizing, and re/interpreting behavioral science research to support clearer thinking and better decisions in practice.


Executive Evidence Briefs

Concise, structured briefs that translate behavioral science and clinical research into decision-ready insights for non-academic audiences. In addition to synthesizing published literature, these briefs can include taking a second look at existing internal or external behavioral science findings by reframing prior work through a decision-making lens and surfacing implications that may not have been evident in the original analysis. Each brief is designed to provide thought-starters for real-world interventions, communication strategies, or policy decisions grounded in evidence.


Ideal for: leadership teams, medical affairs, consulting engagements, and advisory boards.

  

Research-to-Strategy Slide Decks (and Review)

Custom slide decks that convert academic, clinical, and internal research into clear, actionable narratives for executive and stakeholder audiences. These engagements frequently include synthesizing findings across multiple prior projects or data sources to generate new meaning, align fragmented insights, and support strategic decision-making. Decks emphasize behavioral mechanisms, practical relevance, and applicability in real-world contexts—without oversimplifying the science.

  

Rapid Evidence Reviews

Focused, time-sensitive syntheses of existing research on a defined topic. Beyond summarizing the literature, these reviews examine areas of convergence and disagreement, revisit existing internal or external findings where relevant, and highlight emerging implications for practice. The goal is not exhaustive coverage, but clarity, by providing leaders with an understanding of what the evidence suggests and where thoughtful experimentation or intervention may be warranted.


Ideal for: early-stage strategy development, time-sensitive initiatives, and teams seeking credible evidence to inform next steps.

  

Behavioral Insight Labs

Facilitated working sessions designed to help teams re-examine existing behavioral science evidence and translate it into real-world insights. These sessions focus on taking a second look at internal and external research, surfacing overlooked implications, challenging assumptions, and synthesizing findings across prior projects to generate new meaning. Rather than introducing new data, the emphasis is on making existing evidence more usable in decision-making, strategy development, and intervention design.

Behavioral Insight Labs are structured, collaborative conversations grounded in behavioral science and tailored to the specific decision context and audience. Each session is designed to provide clear thought starters for practical next steps, while maintaining scientific rigor.


Ideal for: teams with existing research who need clarity, alignment, or direction on how to apply it in real-world settings.


How I Work

Engagements are selective and collaborative. Each project begins with a clear understanding of the audience, decision context, and constraints—ensuring the final deliverable is both scientifically grounded and usable.


Work can be structured as:

  • Standalone projects
  • Short-term consulting engagements
  • Ongoing advisory support
  • An add-on to existing projects (aka a Behavioral Science Overlay)


Engagements & Fees

Engagements are structured around clearly defined outcomes and scoped based on the complexity of the research, decision context, and intended audience.


In addition to translating published literature, this work can include:

  • Taking a second look at existing internal or external behavioral science findings
  • Re-examining prior research through a decision-making and behavioral science lens
  • Identifying overlooked patterns, tensions, or implications
  • Providing thought starters for real-world interventions, program design, or communication strategies


In some cases, engagements focus on synthesizing findings across multiple prior initiatives to generate new insights and inform next-stage decisions.


Projects may include:

  • Executive evidence/literature briefs
  • Research-to-strategy slide decks (and review of team-built decks)
  • Rapid evidence/literature reviews
  • Short-term or long-term advisory support


Most engagements are project-based, with fees reflecting the depth of synthesis required and the level of strategic interpretation involved. Retainer arrangements are available for organizations seeking ongoing research translation or behavioral advisory support.


Because this work is highly customized, I do not offer standardized packages. Each engagement begins with a brief consultation to ensure alignment on scope, expectations, and deliverables.


Select projects are accepted each quarter.
