Brittany Choate, MSc, is the Founder and Principal of Choate Advisory — a strategic advisory practice dedicated to designing public health and social impact initiatives that work for the people and communities they are built to serve.
She brings cross-sector experience spanning community-based organizations, academic institutions, industry, and federal and foundation-funded public health and social impact initiatives. Before opening this practice, she contributed to more than $15 million in grants, prize awards, and funded initiatives — leading community engagement strategy, directing national operations, and making sure the work actually delivered from first draft to final report.
That work included leading a mobile testing program serving underserved communities in Connecticut that achieved 29% first-time tester rates across 123 deployments, directing program strategy for a national diagnostic network delivering 6.5 million services across 42 states and 200+ partner organizations, and facilitating multi-country stakeholder convenings across five African nations that informed the development of a cross-national NIH proposal. Her work has been presented at national and international conferences and contributed to peer-reviewed publications in implementation science and community-based research.
All of this work is grounded in Equity by Design™ — a proprietary framework built on a specific premise: that inequity in programs is rarely accidental. It is produced upstream, through the governance decisions, workflows, and infrastructure choices that determine who can participate and who cannot. Addressing it requires working at the design stage, before those patterns are built in.
Choate Advisory is a women-owned and neurodivergent-founded practice. Based in Denver, the practice works with organizations across the U.S. and internationally.
How I Approach the Work
Every engagement starts with understanding — the communities a program is built for, the partners who will implement it, and the structural conditions that will determine whether it works in practice. The goal is not to add complexity but to reduce it: aligning stakeholders, simplifying systems, and building the ownership structures that allow initiatives to sustain themselves over time.
