I hope to be able to tell stories and lessons learned to future generations of the public health workforce about our leadership and involvement in COVID response and recovery efforts, and our legacy in public health during a time of enormous change.
Three words to describe me:
imaginative, determined, versatile
The best part of my job:
The intersection between data, technology, and public health is an exciting and meaningful place to work. I am lucky to get to work with mission-oriented, creative, and innovative individuals and teams who are committed to serving others.
Something that would surprise others about me:
I have a deep appreciation for art, poetry, and music. I grew up playing classical piano and violin, danced competitively, and adore all kinds of theatre (Broadway musicals, opera, ballet, etc.).
