What Sets Me Apart

“Hannah is different from any other consultant we've worked with. She has brought so much energy and creativity to our teams, learning sessions, and action period calls. Most importantly, she's helped our sites make meaningful change in pediatric clinical research practices to improve our priority outcomes related to study efficiency, enrollment, and completion. Hannah is a trusted and valued partner who offers intellect, vision, strategy, and action steps, all with encouragement and can-do attitude.”
—Angie Price, Director of Site Network Quality Improvement, The Institute for the Advancement of Clinical Trials for Children
“Hannah led numerous learning collaboratives and grew parent leadership as an essential component of program delivery to achieve higher rates of breastfeeding initiation and duration, increased family engagement and retention in home visiting, and improved screenings and referrals for intimate partner violence. She is an authentic and innovative expert whose energy and enthusiasm brings CQI to life for teams and family leaders alike.”
—Meredith O’Brien, Family Health Area Manager, Hennepin County
“Hannah’s passion for systems change and CQI helped communities of practice improve child and family mental well-being and resilience by bringing together health systems, public health departments, tribal nations, schools, nonprofits, youth groups, faith organizations, and correctional services to discover silos, identify problems, determine root causes, and generate change ideas. She facilitated peer sharing of best practices and lessons learned which enabled all partners to work cohesively on achieving shared goals.”
—Becky Sechrist, Assistant Director of Community Health Division, Minnesota Department of Health
“Hannah helped cancer centers reduce racial disparities, improve screening rates, address barriers to treatment such as transportation and lodging, and improve quality of life for patients and their families. Health system QI efforts are often met with resistance because they feel like another burden on a very full plate, but staff loved working with Hannah because she was passionate about making their lives easier, not harder. She found ways to build change leaders among department teams at all levels and offered strategies for sharing the work so that projects would feel manageable and more sustainable.”
—Leah Hegg, Mission Delivery Program Manager, The American Cancer Society
“Hannah’s teaching sessions were highly interactive and engaging. She gave us the tools and coached us how to use them in our day-to-day work, while encouraging us through the ups and downs over several years. She helped us improve breastfeeding rates, father engagement, screenings and referrals for maternal depression and child development, and overall service delivery to families within the county. With her support, we were able to incorporate and apply CQI to our program in a way that was impactful for our staff, our clients, and ultimately our community.”
—Shari Wiltrout, Licensed School Nurse, Cambridge-Isanti School District

Her superb communication and project management skills combined with innovative strategies to implement change packages sets her apart from other consultants. She adapts to meet clients’ levels of readiness and tailors her work to the strengths of the organization.”
