Simone joined JHU∙CCP in August 2011, taking charge of K4Health’s web products portfolio. Her team is tasked with synthesizing and producing reliable, high-quality information and disseminating it in user-friendly formats. Functionally, this means Simone is plugged into everything which touches K4Health’s website (from the front-end/user perspective, not the back-end/developer perspective).

Simone has more than ten years of web, IT, and knowledge management experience, and more than twenty years of professional writing and editing experience. She came to CCP from a ten-year stint at Innovation Network, a Washington, DC-based nonprofit consulting firm that provides evaluation consulting, training, research, and online tools to nonprofits and funders. Her work there included writing, editing, knowledge management, database solutions development and management, publications design, print and web production management, and other general web, social media, and IT-related duties. She served as the primary liaison between evaluation consultants, web developers, and website users (over 20,000 users in nearly 100 countries).

Simone is an avid grammarian and student of the uses and misuses of jargon. She is also an unstoppable pro-bono tester of other people’s online tools and applications, most recently contributing feedback to ClickTime, Zerista, and NPower’s Community Corps. She lives in Takoma Park, Maryland, where she aspires to become an accomplished container gardener.
