Sioux Falls, South DakotaPublic Health Director
City of Sioux Falls
It is a privilege to be in a position to make decisions that affect so many lives. The work we do in public health positively impacts the health of many people who may not even be aware of it.
Three words to describe me:
visionary, passionate, competent
The best part of my job:
using data to understand the aggregate health and distribution of health and risk factors across the populations we serve, and fostering partnerships with stakeholders and organizations to advance collaborative efforts to improve community health and well-being
Something that would surprise others about me:
I am more resilient than I appear :)
