About Us
The Founder
I’m Tynaje Thomas, MPH, founder of The Lighthouse Consultancy. I hold a Master of Public Health in Health Systems, Management, and Policy, along with a strong background in research, evaluation, and health equity.
Over the years, I’ve worked across universities, state agencies, and community organizations, leading projects in systems change, equity, and policy. My expertise is in helping organizations navigate complex challenges, strengthen capacity, and design solutions that drive measurable impact.
Why I Launched
After completing my Master of Public Health in Health Systems, Management, and Policy, I saw firsthand how many organizations were struggling to address health equity in ways that were sustainable, measurable, and rooted in real systems change.
Too often, initiatives lacked the practical frameworks or training support needed to move beyond performative statements. I wanted to change that.
I chose the name The Lighthouse because lighthouses provide guidance, clarity, and safe passage in uncertain waters. That’s exactly what I envisioned for this consultancy:
• To shine light on inequities that organizations may not fully see.
• To provide a clear roadmap forward, grounded in evidence and practical tools.
• To build capacity within organizations so they don’t just comply with equity standards but transform their systems for lasting impact.
At its heart, The Lighthouse Consultancy was born to bridge the gap between vision and implementation helping healthcare and public health organizations take meaningful, actionable steps toward equity.
