Snapshot

  • Client: Prospectus Group LLC

  • Years: February 2022 - present

  • Role: Copywriter

  • Scope: Monthly research publication for public health providers across Georgia; 6-10 page summaries; nearly 50 delivered

Challenge
Prospectus Group provides training and technical assistance to communities across Georgia, with a focus on substance abuse prevention. Each month it publishes a research abstract for practicing public health providers. Providers are busy, so each summary has to turn dense academic findings into a clear “implications for practice” section they can read quickly and apply.

What I did

  • Translated complex academic research into readable summaries for a non-academic audience, defining key terms and acronyms along the way

  • Wrote the “implications for practice” section, distilling evidence-backed best practices into quick-reference takeaways

  • Delivered drafts on deadline, in time for review by a public health PhD

Result

  • Re-engaged continuously since February 2022

  • Nearly 50 documents delivered

Relevant skills
Translating technical research for non-expert audiences, on deadline, with subject-matter expert review.
