Reproductive Health Consultant Marian Abernathy
About: Passionate about providing safe and accessible reproductive health services to marginalized women around the globe, I specialize in designing comprehensive programs to help individuals throughout Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. My background includes 20+ years of success across international development, reproductive rights, and organizational learning & development, serving such groups as the Peace Corps, Ipas and LINGOs. As an articulate, bilingual professional who speaks fluent Spanish and moderate Portuguese, I excel at bridging communication gaps between organizational leaders and field-based staff to ensure the smooth delivery of life-changing services. It’s my goal to build lasting relationships and foster cohesive teams who work collaboratively to achieve program missions. I believe education is the key to progress, and I enjoy leveraging my background as an educator to design groundbreaking blended learning programs and courses to enhance clinical training in facilities, as well as raise awareness of global health-related services. Simply put, I want to make a difference in women’s lives and be a positive force in the world.
