Roman Public Health Consulting: 2023 Reflections and 2024 Planning
One of my favorite annual traditions since I started my business is to have myself a little end of year “retreat” to review the past year. I block the week from meetings. I put on my out of office and focus exclusively on my business (i.e., I do zero client work). And yay- I get to stand in front of my big white board :)
As we start 2024, I thought readers would be interested in both my process and some of the findings that emerged from this retreat that you can expect to see reflected in what I share and work on this year.
It’s Okay To Want To Make Money While You Help People
I am here to say it can be BOTH.
You can care deeply about the work of public health and helping people AND want to make a salary that doesn’t just cover your bills but reflects the value of your years of education, training, and experience.

Public Health Consulting: How Much Should I Charge?
This is one of the most asked questions I receive about public health consulting. People want an easy answer. A concrete answer. Unfortunately, there is not an easy or concrete answer that is the same for everyone. However, I can lay out important considerations so that you can calculate the right answer for you.
