A Word About Confidentiality
Confidentiality and integrity is central for me in my professional and personal life.
If a person’s identity needs to be protected for whatever reason, I use a pseudonym and change key identifying information so that the heart of the story can be told but the identity of the individual is confidential.
If at any time you read something on my blog that violates this confidentiality, or if there is a question about it, please contact me.
