Rademacher is a Technical Advisor in FHI 360’s Contraceptive Technology Innovation department where she supports the development and introduction of new, long-acting contraceptives for low-resource settings. She has fifteen years of experience in family planning program design and management.

Rademacher serves as the technical lead for a portfolio of work to evaluate the potential impact of the levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) in several countries in sub-Saharan Africa. She works with multi-disciplinary teams that have conducted or are conducting market assessments in Kenya, Zambia and Nigeria, and she led an analysis that compared the direct service delivery costs of the LNG-IUS to other family planning methods.
