Selected Work
In Print
Twenty-two years in women’s health writing and research — including informed-consent journalism, published books, and long-form content on birth and postpartum, with contributor work across national political, parenting and lifestyle outlets.
Informed Consent & Health Freedom
The Tenpenny ReportResearch-driven writing on vaccine policy, medical freedom, and informed consent — the area where I do the most sourced, in-depth work. This is also where my advocacy lives outside of writing: I’m President of Informed Choice Maryland, President of the U.S. Council on Domestic Relations, co-founder of Spirit of 1776, and served in a national operations role on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s 2023–2024 presidential campaign. If you need someone who can write about this topic with real depth and cite their sources, that’s the work below.
