Healthcare Content Portfolio
Informational Brochures
As the content lead at a healthcare marketing agency, I worked with our design and strategy teams as well as our client’s medical review boards to create the copy for this brochure that helps individuals who have been diagnosed with ALSP.
I also created the copy for this brochure for caregivers and family members who want to know how to help their loved one who is living with ALSP.
PATIENT AND CAREGIVER STORIES
From interviews to storyboards, I have worked on a number of programs and videos featuring patient and caregiver stories, including the following:
Self-Care for Caregivers | Program | A pediatric psychologist and a caregiver of a teen who is living with a rare disease discuss self care. The program highlights include advice for nurturing self-compassion, an exercise in identifying barriers to self-care, and tips for overcoming those barriers.
A Journey Towards Acceptance and Hope | Program | A psychologist and caregiver discuss how to confront adversity, look to the future, and maintain hope. Using both professional research and personal experiences, they offer practical advice as well as tips for getting started.
The Sibling Perspective | Program | A pediatric neuropsychologist and a sibling of an individual living with a rare disease cover the importance of communication and routines, how to identify when a sibling isn’t coping well, and strategies for creating an environment of love, support, and understanding.
Finding Independence While Living with Type 1 Diabetes | Video | A college athlete who has type 1 diabetes opens up about how he prepared for college and independence.
Journey and Role as a Caregiver for T1D | Video | A husband and wife talk about the journey to a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and what it means to be a caregiver.
Facing Fears as a Caregiver | Video | A mother discusses how she faces fears as a caregiver and prepares for the worst-case scenarios.
Empowering and Educating on the Road to Independence | Video | How a mother empowered her child who lives with a rare disease to feel safe and confident in managing his disease.
“Kelly and I worked together in the rare disease space, where she was a patient content writer, editor and interviewer. She is thoughtful and compassionate when interviewing individuals about particularly sensitive topics, always remaining respectful while also asking insightful and relevant questions to elicit meaningful responses from her interviewees. Kelly then elegantly crafts the details of these individual’s stories into succinct and powerful narratives.
Kelly is always well-prepared, respectful and professional in her work. Her empathy and kindness make her a superb colleague and partner; I highly recommend Kelly for any writing, editing or interviewing projects. She is a pleasure to work with.”
“Kelly is an absolutely terrific writer, editor, and editorial manager. She is a skilled, thoughtful writer and a thorough, empathetic interviewer. She shines as an editor, improving copy with utmost respect for the story and the writer. And as an editorial manager, she somehow keeps multiple balls in the air while remaining completely calm and focused.
I’d happily work for Kelly again and recommend her enthusiastically for editorial projects.”
