Jana Studelska

I follow my passions and have enjoyed a diverse career in writing, education, administration, midwifery, leadership, and project management. I bring a unique, practical, relevant viewpoint to my work. I'm an award-winning writer who can find a story anywhere. I'm a reliable team-builder with experience in collaboration, development, and process improvement. I love to design learning materials, to teach, and support learning for small groups and large organizations. I have a strong history with maternal child health as a licensed midwife as well as a midwifery educator.
