What I Offer

I help people with a shared mission finally understand one another—so they can build stronger partnerships and bring better treatments to patients.

Is this you?

  • Are you leading a patient advocacy organization and wondering how to build productive, authentic partnerships with biopharma?
  • Are you developing a new therapy and looking to meaningfully integrate the patient voice into your program?
  • Are you struggling to bridge the gap between scientists, executives, clinicians, and patient communities?
  • Are you looking for a speaker or workshop that will challenge assumptions, build trust, and change the conversation?

I can help

When passion, intelligence, pragmatism, and energy come together, you get something extraordinary. And that's exactly what Hillary brings to the table. What sets her apart is her rare ability to translate what's really happening--the politics, the priorities, the fine print--into something advocates can actually use. That kind of insight doesn't come from a playbook. It comes from having done the work on both sides."
