Elizabeth Humphrey

Elizabeth K. Humphrey is a strategic communications leader and freelance writer specializing in healthcare, life sciences, and corporate communications. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of North Carolina Wilmington and a BA in Political Science from Columbia University. She combines her editorial instincts of a journalist with the strategic fluency of a communications executive.

Her work has appeared in Scientific American, where she pitched and wrote multiple pieces interpreting peer-reviewed research for a scientifically literate general audience. She has produced white papers, case studies, thought leadership articles, and executive-bylined content for organizations including PPD, CVS Health and Catalyst Clinical Research, translating clinical trial science, regulatory complexity, and organizational change into narratives that inform, persuade, and build trust.

Elizabeth has spent nearly two decades operating at the intersection of journalism and corporate communications — ghostwriting for C-suite executives, building editorial programs from scratch, and leading content functions in complex, highly regulated global enterprises. 

Her constant is making complexity accessible. Whether she’s translating the landscape of diabetes medications for a payor audience, capturing an executive’s voice for a ghostwritten article, or framing a global restructuring for the employees it affects, she finds the narrative and writes to it with clarity and precision.
