Looking ahead, I envision a future where public health is co-created with communities, trusted, funded, and a force for liberation.
Three words to describe me:
Curious, Humble, Justice-Driven
The best part of my job:
I love the "light bulb" moments, when I'm able to better understand how to adapt a given policy or practice to varying jurisdictions, disease areas, and circumstances.
Something that would surprise others about me:
Coffee fuels my work! I have been a part-time barista on and off for the past 10 years, and have participated in competitions, attended conferences, and even learned how to do latte art. What started as extra income to support my MPH studies has turned into a passion.
