Testimonials
I have been so fortunate in working not only on great projects but with great people - thank you!

'I've had the chance to work with Katy on some of IFRC’s global advocacy efforts on NCDs, including the recent 2025 Global Advocacy Bootcamp and earlier in 2018 when she served as the lead rapporteur for IFRC's first Global NCD Bootcamp. In both moments—seven years apart—her ability to listen deeply, capture complexity, and translate dialogue into clear, meaningful outputs stood out.
Katy brings more than just excellent writing—she brings structure to scattered ideas, clarity to discussions, and a human tone that never loses sight of purpose. I can say with confidence that her contributions helped shape not just the reports, but the way we communicated our vision as the IFRC network.
It’s been a privilege to work with her, and I recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking thought partnership, policy expertise, and writing that moves people—and agendas—forward.'
Mahmoud Tharwat, ​International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
'Katy has an excellent understanding of the health policy landscape, and of the special situation of people living with NCDs in humanitarian settings. She is thorough and diligent, always respectful of deadlines, has excellent drafting skills and an astute political understanding. She is innovative and creative in her approach to for example event organising, with great interpersonal skills and a very big network to draw on.'

'Katy entirely surpassed my expectations of what could be achieved in the time available for the evaluation of corporate involvement in National Clean Air Day. Katy’s tenacity, speed of movement and clarity of insights were matched by her knack of getting busy people to welcome conversations with her. The report provided by Katy was not only well written and comprehensive – she had gone well beyond just recording the thoughts of 50 campaign participants to draw valuable insights from this data. Katy identified trends, and suggested how the campaign could evolve based on this data, which will enable us to increase the number of businesses participating in next year’s campaign, and to enhance the effect that participating businesses have on combating air pollution. I’d have no hesitation in setting Katy greater challenges to work on!'
