I am a long-time global health professional and policy expert with specialized skills in nonprofit management, health policy, writing and editing, planning and coordination of global events, travel, and meetings, and all things community & patient engagement oriented.
A bit about me:
▪ I have been supporting and leading work at the World Health Organization since 2023 focused on meaningful engagement of people living with noncommunicable diseases, mental health and neurological conditions in the global health policy process.
▪ I have over 15 years of experience in nonprofit program management and administration, meeting and event planning, and grant reporting and donor stewardship at a high level -- managing and supporting complex, multi-year global grants and projects of $1-15M.
▪ I have over 15 years of experience in writing, copyediting, and content development across various formats, including grant reporting and development, policy brief and technical writing, advocacy messaging, blog writing, website copy, and social media.
▪ I've developed and launched an engagement platform with 500 lived experience advocates and experts across all global regions interested in contributing to a UN policy process and a leadership fellowship focused on mentoring up-and-coming advocates in low-income countries across sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia on how to most effectively present critical arguments through storytelling and communication strategies.
▪ I have co-produced a podcast with a small team of other advocates, including developing episode outlines, co-hosting, audio editing, mixing and mastering, show notes, uploads, and marketing.
In addition to global policy, nonprofit management, storytelling, and content development, I love to travel and plan trips! I have extensive experience in budget-conscious trip, event/meeting, and conference planning across global settings.
I'm even more passionate about personal travel and would love to help you plan out your next itinerary -- particularly if you prefer to keep travel budget-friendly, love unique lodging or off the beaten track adventures, or have chronic health issues or dietary restrictions but don't want to miss out on seeing the world.
I'm organized, a strong communicator, and willing to jump in at whatever level of program support or management is needed. I'm especially looking forward to working with clients who are looking to tell important stories, build community, or make their corner of the world better.

Senior WordPress Developer | Woocommerce Website | Elementor Expert
⚡⚡⚡ Right now, someone is on your website deciding whether to buy and you're not there to help them. Your site either closes that deal or loses it.
I'm Aaliyah, a WordPress Developer and Elementor Designer based in Houston, Texas, with 5 years of hands-on experience building websites that don't just look right, they work right. I've shipped WordPress websites across multiple freelancing platforms, worked with clients from different industries, and seen firsthand what separates a website that converts from one that just sits there.
🔹🔹🔹Clients keep coming back to me, not because I say the right things, but because I do what I say, and I show up for every project like it's my own business on the line.
🔒 WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY KEEPS THEM COMING BACK
Most clients find me once, then stop looking elsewhere. They tell me it's because I actually listen before I touch anything. I ask the right questions, I flag problems they didn't know existed, and I never disappear mid-project. They don't need to follow up twice.
They don't need to explain things three times. And when I send a finished build, it's finished. No broken links, no mobile issues, no last-minute surprises.
One client said: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Aaliyah doesn't just build what you ask for, she builds what you actually need ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ That is the bar I hold myself to.
⚡ WHAT MAKES WORKING WITH ME DIFFERENT
🔹 I communicate before problems grow - You stay informed at every stage, through chat, so nothing catches you off guard
🔹 I build for speed AND design - Beautiful Elementor websites that also score well on Core Web Vitals and load fast on mobile
🔹 I don't cut corners to move fast - Clean code, organized file structures, and zero plugin bloat
🔹 I understand business, not just websites - I think about your customer journey, not just the layout
🔹 I respect your timeline - Deadlines aren't suggestions on my end
🛠️ WORDPRESS DEVELOPER FOR.....
🔹 WordPress Developer for business websites, brand sites, and company landing pages
🔹 WordPress Developer for WooCommerce store setup, product pages, and checkout optimization
🔹 WordPress Developer for Elementor website design, page builder customization, and pixel-perfect builds
🔹 WordPress Developer for WordPress theme customization and premium theme setup
🔹 WordPress Developer for eCommerce website development and online store launches
🔹 WordPress Developer for WordPress website redesign and brand refresh
🔹 WordPress Developer for Figma to WordPress conversion with Elementor
🔹 WordPress Developer for website speed optimization and Core Web Vitals improvement
🔹 WordPress Developer for WordPress website maintenance, updates, and security hardening
🔹 WordPress Developer for landing page design optimized for leads and conversions
🔹 WordPress Developer for blog setup, portfolio websites, and service-based business sites
🔹 WordPress Developer for plugin integration, troubleshooting, and conflict resolution
🏢 INDUSTRIES & WEBSITES I BUILD...
I work with small business owners, entrepreneurs, startups, agencies, coaches, consultants, and e-commerce brands.
The common thread? They all need a WordPress website that actually performs, not just one that looks good in a screenshot.
✅ TYPES OF WEBSITE I BUILD REGULARLY
🔹 E-commerce stores (WooCommerce development, product catalog, payment setup)
🔹 Service-based business websites (agencies, law firms, med spas, cleaning services, contractors)
🔹 Coaching and consulting websites (booking systems, lead capture, sales pages)
🔹 Portfolio and creative websites (designers, photographers, artists)
🔹 Blog and content websites (news sites, niche blogs, affiliate sites)
🔹 Restaurant and hospitality websites (menus, reservations, location pages)
🔹 Non-profit and community websites
If your industry isn't listed, send me a message. Chances are I've built something similar.
📩 Ready to Build Something That Works?
Send me a message with your project details, what you need, what you currently have, and what your deadline looks like. I'll respond quickly, ask the right questions, and tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit. No fluff. No bait-and-switch. Just real, reliable WordPress development.
Message me today, let's talk about your website.
