Who I Help

Government agencies

Laura helps public-sector organizations communicate in plain language that the people they serve can actually use. She has worked inside federal agencies — including the U. S. Department of Education and federal health and regulatory programs — and she knows how hard it is to make complex rules readable without losing the accuracy that government work demands. [See government communications]

The agencies and departments she supports include:

• Federal departments and agencies across education, public health, science, emergency response, and regulation

• State agencies and departments

• County and city governments

• School districts and public colleges and universities

• Public health departments

• Public transit and transportation authorities

Nonprofits & issue campaigns

Laura helps mission-driven organizations communicate clearly with the communities they exist to serve. She has led outreach for groups working on organ donation, health equity, and food security, and she has built communications for nonprofits and issue campaigns across the country. The writing is clear, accurate, and built to be used — whether it is a report, an appeal, or a community outreach campaign. [See reports]
