[I worked with Emily from 2016–2025 ]as UCSF’s technical lead for woman-centered care on USAID’s HEARD project. She is a strategic communicator with the judgment to navigate a complex donor-and-partner landscape. [For the Advancing Postpartum Hemorrhage Care (APPHC) effort—a ~US$6M collaboration of 15 institutions in two countries that produced eight locally led studies—Emily served as partnership lead and communications strategist]. She kept USAID and partners aligned through advisory groups donor updates, and helped guide the strategic positioning of findings so they reached policy and program leaders across local, national, and global forums. We also published together; her attention to detail and big-picture strategy were evident. [Diplomatic, emotionally astute, and hardworking, she delivers. I recommend Emily for complex, multi-partner coordination and research-to-practice strategy].
