Leah Roman, MPH, MCHES
Owner & Principal Consultant
Welcome! I’m Leah Roman. I help public health organizations design effective e-learning solutions.
After working in health education, training & technical assistance, and consulting as a subject matter expert on multiple online learning projects, I noticed several common challenges within public health organizations:
They often have lots of subject matter experts, but not necessarily experts in adult learning.
Employees are maxed out and may not have the capacity to lead the strategic development of an online learning experience.
There is a lot of pressure to “just make an online training” to fix every problem.
I love to collaborate with public health professionals to address these challenges. With unique experience in both public health and instructional design, I can take the pressure off feeling like you need to know everything and do it alone. I can help you create effective e-learning that meets both your training and organizational goals.
My background includes 18+ years of experience in public health, a master of public health (MPH) degree from Boston University, a certificate in e-learning instructional design from the University of Washington, and the designation as a Master Certified Health Education Specialist (MCHES).
You can learn more about my approach to designing effective online public health trainings and courses by listening to my interview on the PH SPOTlight podcast (September 2023).

When I am not thinking about online courses, you can find me planning a beach trip with my husband and two young children. We also love hiking, Legos, and finding new books at the library.
